No. A nonstop flight operates between two airports without calling at any other airports en route. A direct flight, for instance from London to Auckland, may have one or more touchdowns en route, although these are not shown on the ticket. In some cases passengers may be asked to leave the aircraft, or even pass through immigration, at these touchdown points.

A charter flight is generally an aircraft chartered by a holiday company, and may operate once or twice a week to various destinations. Most of the seats are sold as part of a package including accommodation sold by the holiday company, but many holiday companies now sell some of the seats without ground arrangements. A scheduled flight is operated and marketed by the airline in its own right, to a regular, published schedule. As the charter flights are for holiday makers they tend to be cheaper but this is reflected in the on board service (meals and drinks are not always included) and seats tend to have slightly less legroom.

An e-ticket is an electronic ticket. It contains all the information shown on a paper ticket, but is stored as an electronic record in the airline's computer system. When the e-ticket has been issued, the passenger simply needs to print out their receipt / itinerary showing the booking reference. At the departure airport the passenger goes straight to the airline check-in desk. The main benefits to the passenger are that the e-tickets cannot be lost; there is no need to queue for tickets at the airport, and itinerary changes (where permitted by the airline) can be handled more easily. This form of ticketing is becoming widespread, and the International Air Transport Association are aiming for 100% implementation of e-ticketing worldwide by the end of 2007.

An open jaw occurs where a passenger departs from one airport, and returns from and/or to another airport. For example London - Harare / Harare - Manchester, London - Harare / Bulawayo - London, London - Harare / Bulawayo - Manchester.

Baggage allowances do vary according to the airline you are traveling with and the destination. The following is a guideline only - exceptions do exist. Most airlines still use the weight system, allowing you to check-in 20kgs of luggage (economy class). The allowance is normally 30kgs in business class and 40kgs in first class. Scheduled transatlantic flights often still use the 'piece' system, normally allowing each passenger to check-in two pieces of luggage (maximum weight per piece varies between 20-32 kgs). For health and safety reasons items of luggage weighing over 32kgs will not be accepted. Infants are not normally entitled to a luggage allowance. In addition, each passenger may carry one piece of hand luggage, subject to certain weight and size restrictions. Certain articles may not be carried in hand baggage. Excess baggage is normally charged for, and is only carried subject to space being available on your flight.
