n. a flight with one or more intermediate stops but no change of aircraft
Wikipedia
A direct flight in the aviation industry is any flight between two points by an airline with no change in flight numbers, which may include a stop at an intermediate point. The stop over may either be to get new passengers (or allow some to disembark) or a mere technical stop over (i.e., for refuelling). Direct flights are often confused with non-stop flights, which are flights involving no intermediate stops. When there is a change in flight number, the subsequent flight is referred to as a connecting flight.
