How it's used
Focuses specifically on the absence of a layover or transfer. It is commonly used as a modifier for nouns like 機票 or 航班 to specify the type of service desired. It implies a more convenient and time efficient travel experience compared to flights that require changing planes.
Examples
I want to buy a direct flight ticket to Japan.
Are there any direct flights to London from here?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a flight that makes a technical stop but keeps the same flight number, as that is not considered a true non-stop flight in casual conversation.
