Direct Flights – Popular holiday destinations
The more popular and important your destination the more likely you will have a direct flight: New York will be direct while Santiago de Chile will probably be indirect. The growing popularity of package holidays in the USA, Mexico, India, the Middle East and even China means more low-cost direct flights to exotic destinations like Florida, Las Vegas, Cancun, Goa and Dubai. Nevertheless, many of these destinations could also involve an indirect flight. Check with the airline to find out if your flight is direct or indirect.

Indirect Flights – Small airports and less-frequented routes
The vast majority of holiday flights from major UK airports will be direct flights. However, indirect flights may sometimes be the only way of reaching your destination from the smallest UK airports like Plymouth, Norwich or Durham Tees Valley. If your local airport does not advertise direct flights to your desired destination it may well be possible to travel with an indirect flight via hub airports like London and Manchester. Indirect flights may simply involve a short stopover for refuelling or a change of planes. Indirect flights are more common on long-haul flights, particularly if the destination is not an established holiday favourite. Your travel plans may involve indirect flights if you are flying to South America, The West Coast of the USA, Canada, the Far East and Australasia.
