Connecting flights differ from non-stop flights as they involve one or more stopovers. Passengers utilize connecting flights as they are more affordable or there are no direct flights. International routes utilize the majority of connecting flights, and this aids airlines in transferring passengers effectively using their major hub airports.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Connecting_Flights_Operate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do Connecting Flights Operate?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecting flights generally operate in this manner, if you book your trip from your departure city to your destination city, and the booking has a stopover in a hub or in an intermediate airport. For example, if you are going from New York to Delhi, you can have a connecting flight in London or Dubai. Usually, airlines hand over boarding passes for both of your flights at your initial point of departure, and your luggage will be moved automatically. Your next gate simply needs to be found by walking along signs bearing the words &#8220;Connections&#8221; or &#8220;Transit&#8221; at your connecting airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/traveldiary\/what-happens-if-you-miss-your-connecting-flight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Know about What Happens if You Miss Your Connecting Flight<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Know_While_Booking_Connecting_Flight\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things to Know While Booking Connecting Flight<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several factors that you must consider while making connecting flights:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visa Requirements: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although passengers do not usually require a visa to merely transit through an airport, there are nations that do need visa or transit permission requirements like the USA, where they even need an ESTA for temporary airport stays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Airport Transfer Times: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airports have Minimum Connecting Times (MCT). This is the minimum acceptable time between your arrival and your next departure. It&#8217;s necessary to book flights with an adequate layover to comfortably make your next connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Checking Airports:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check whether your connecting flights depart from one and the same airport. Major cities can have multiple airports, and a change of airports can take up a lot of your time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Baggage and Check-in: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baggage will usually be checked all the way through to your destination, and you won&#8217;t need to pick it up at your connecting airport. If you&#8217;ve booked separately or are coming in internationally (e.g., into the USA), however, you might need to pick up and re-check your bags at your connecting airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_If_You_Miss_Connecting_Flight\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Happens If You Miss Connecting Flight?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is natural to fear missing one&#8217;s flight. Flight delays happen, and the airlines know it. When the flights are booked together on the same ticket, the airline will bring you to your destination. In the unlikely event that your first flight actually is delayed and you end up missing the second flight, you simply go up to your airline&#8217;s customer service desk at the airport. They will probably reschedule you on the next flight without charging anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you&#8217;re booking individual flights, the airlines need not rebook you. In such a case, it is recommended to buy travel insurance and leave a decent transfer time between flights to avoid missing the connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/traveldiary\/differences-between-connecting-flight-vs-direct-flight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connecting Flight vs Direct Flight<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Booking_Connecting_Flights_Easily\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for Booking Connecting Flights Easily<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Booking connecting flights is easy with reliable flight booking agencies like Indian Eagle.
