No direct flight, or the direct one looks full? Adding a stop often opens up a route that works.
Searching with stops
You find 'Options' on the search screen.
Then choose 'Max 1 stop' or 'Max 2 stops'. Two stops is the most we search.
After searching, the 'Stops' filter above your results lets you change your mind: 'Non-stop only', 'One stop or fewer', or 'Two stops or fewer'.
Reading a connection
Connections appear as a single card with each leg listed underneath, along with the airport you change at and how long you have between flights. Overnight layovers and very short ones are marked, so a tight connection is easy to spot before you commit.
Filtering by layover length
We only show connections with a layover of 45 minutes to 5 hours, unless you change it. That rules out most connections that are too tight to make, and most that are too long to sit out. You can set your own window.
The 'Layover' slider sits below 'Leave' and 'Arrive'. It only appears when your search includes stops.
Set the shortest and the longest wait you will accept, anywhere from no wait at all up to 12 hours, in steps of 15 minutes. The two marks on the slider show the default window.
We search again with your window.
Next to 'Layover' you always see the window that applies. While it is the default, it says so. To go back to 45 minutes to 5 hours, tap 'Clear' and then 'Done'. 'Clear' also resets the 'Leave' and 'Arrive' sliders.
Connections on different airlines
By default we only show connections flown by a single airline. Turn on 'Multiple airlines' in 'Options' to include connections where the legs are operated by different carriers, which widens the results considerably.
Each leg is its own request
Loads differ per leg, and each leg is answered separately, so requesting a connection costs 1 credit per leg. Tapping the connection card header selects every leg at once.
Nothing found?
The empty state offers one-tap suggestions to widen your search, such as adding another stop or allowing multiple airlines. Adding nearby airports in 'Options' often helps too.
