The travel industry has a language all its own. Unfortunately, this can mean trouble for consumers who aren't fluent.
Every year, millions of passengers request a "direct flight" when what they really want is a "nonstop flight." This isn't their fault; it's the airlines that have twisted a nice simple word like "direct" to mean "an en-route stop without a change of airplanes."
Similarly, many hotel guests request "adjoining rooms" when what they really want is the private door found in "connecting rooms."
Travel can be confusing, and not speaking its language can make it even more confusing. The glossary below is designed to make it just a little easier to understand.
