Stopover flight
The trip on a stopover flight is when the aircraft stops midway at a specific location, either to pick up more passengers or to fuel the plane.
During the stop at these destinations, all landing procedures are carried out, however, only those passengers whose final destination is that stop leave the plane.
As an example, we have the following situation: the passenger takes a flight from destination A to destination C. Halfway through the journey, the plane stops at destination B to drop off some passengers and fuel the aircraft. These procedures usually take a few minutes, which can influence the time of arrival
at destination C. Procedures for a stopover flight
.Now that you know what a stopover flight is and how it works, it's important to be aware during plane stops. If you are going to disembark at the stopover destination, simply get off the aircraft and perform the remaining procedures. If not, the ideal is to remain on the aircraft and wait for the plane to take off again.
Connecting flight
But, after all, how does the flight connection work? Stopover and connection are very similar, since both are stops in the middle of the journey, where passengers are picked up and dropped off. However, in this case, all passengers disembark and, to continue to their final destination, they must board another aircraft.
An important note about this modality is that, with the change of aircraft, it may also be necessary to carry out some procedures again in the case of international travel, such as going through customs and the immigration sector. Remember that the flight may have one or more connections during the journey.
Procedures on a connecting flight
When boarding a connecting flight, it's always important to follow the flight attendants' guidance to locate yourself about the new boarding area. Then you can easily proceed to the next aircraft.
The stopover and connection time is usually short, so boarding must be immediate. Therefore, it is important to always be aware of the location of the new aircraft in order to proceed without delays.
In the case of luggage, which, like passengers, must also be taken to another plane, transportation is usually carried out by the company's own employees.
However, it is always important to be informed about it. If this does not happen, each passenger must bring their bags and check them back in at the airline counter at the connecting airport
