Generally speaking, direct flights are more expensive than connecting flights, because the travel time of direct flights (although there are stopovers) is shorter, the travel time of connecting flights is longer, and the waiting time for connecting flights is longer, but this is not always the case.
If time permits, it is more economical for passengers to buy joint air tickets.
It takes time to detour and transfer, which brings inconvenience to passengers. Of course it's cheaper than direct flights. Who else would choose a connecting flight?
There are clear rules for connecting tickets. If you give up the first class, you can't take the second class! When checking in for the second flight, you need to show your boarding pass for the first flight.
It is normal that connecting flights are cheaper than direct flights. Connecting air tickets are a very important means to buy discounted air tickets. When you transfer, you only need to exchange your boarding pass for the next flight at the transfer counter, without going out of the airport or checking again. At the end of your first trip, the airport will have clear instructions to guide you to transfer.
The reason why the joint flight ticket is cheap is that it prolongs your travel time, but it makes full use of the airline's flight resources, regulates the passenger flow on different routes, and also increases the revenue for the airline (although it looks cheap on the surface).
Question 2: How to understand and distinguish between connecting flights and connecting flights? The connecting flight is a ticket, a flight number, operated by the same airline. When stopping at the third place, you can change planes and continue to fly, or you can continue to fly without changing planes;
Connecting flight refers to two tickets with different flight numbers. If you stop at the third place, you will definitely change planes and continue to fly, and it is not the same airline flight.
Question 3: What's the difference between connecting and transferring? Connecting flight refers to the same ticket and the same plane (it is also possible to stop over in a city, which is called stopover. Some people get off the plane and some people get on it. If you want to continue to your final destination, you have to get off the plane and wait for a while before getting on the same plane); A connecting flight is to take a ticket and fly to a certain place by plane. After getting off the plane, change your ticket or boarding pass and take another plane to your destination. This transfer procedure can be handled in the airport lobby.
Question 4: What do you mean by "transit" and "round trip" of air tickets? What is the difference? Connecting means that when there is no direct flight from A to B, you can only transfer at C, so the ticket you bought is a connecting ticket from A to B via C. Simply speaking, you bought a connecting ticket from Guangzhou to Wuhan, so you must fly from Guangzhou to Guilin first, and then the return ticket from Guilin to Wuhan is the one you bought, that is, you can fly directly without stopping in Guilin.
Question 5: What does a connecting ticket mean? What are the benefits? Is it okay? A connecting ticket means it's not a direct flight, but you have to change planes halfway. Apart from being cheap, there are no advantages.
Question 6: Do you take the same airline when you transfer? The connecting flight is not necessarily one airline, but also two cooperative airlines. It depends on whether you are on the plane ticket during the tour. If two segments are listed in a tour itinerary, they are connecting routes, such as Chengdu-Shanghai-Paris air ticket, Chengdu-Shanghai is an aircraft of China Eastern Airlines, and Shanghai-Paris is an aircraft of Air France, no problem.
In addition, if two flight segments are bought separately, there will be two travel itineraries in the end, so even if two tickets come from one airline, they are not joint tickets.
Finally, both China and the United States have special regulations on the conversion of domestic routes to international routes or international routes to domestic routes. This is a special case, only valid in the United States and China. No matter what other countries do, it is in China. If you go abroad through the international airport, or transfer from abroad to other airports through the international airport, you need to pick up your luggage first, go through the immigration formalities, then check your luggage and transfer to the next plane. But when entering the country, the passage is different from the direct arrival. There are special passages for entry and re-consignment.
Question 7: Hello, thank you for your interest in Ctrip.
Transit travel refers to the voyage from the starting point to the destination through one or more airports. The joint flight ticket uses two (or more) tickets with different flight numbers. When booking a connecting flight ticket, select "connecting flight" as the voyage type, and fill in the corresponding city names in "departure city" and "destination city" to query the reservation.
A round-trip ticket is also called a round-trip ticket. As the name implies, there are round-trip air tickets. In other words, the ticket was effectively used twice when arriving at the destination from the departure point and returning to the departure point. For example, a ticket from Shenzhen to Beijing to Shenzhen is a round-trip ticket. When booking a round-trip air ticket, choose the round-trip voyage type, and fill in the corresponding city names in the departure city and the destination city to query and book. Click to select and book the round-trip air ticket price, and the payable amount will be displayed at the bottom right of the page, where the payable amount is the total round-trip air ticket price.

Question 8: What do you mean by connecting ticket? If you transfer, the plane will stop in a city and then take off for the destination, which is longer than the direct flight, so it will be cheaper!
Question 9: What does a connecting ticket mean? Yeah, that's right
Question 10: What is a turning point? How to book a connecting flight is a kind of connecting flight. In fact, the flight from A to B is divided into several segments and will be "transited" by other airport airlines. Generally speaking, the transfer is very convenient. At the end of your last flight, the airport will have clear instructions to guide you to transfer to the next flight without leaving the airport halfway and finally reach your destination.
