I normally fly this rounte on a 6AM flight, which is always an originating flight....but I doubt a 10:55 flight would be originating? Any ideas how I can confirm? Thank you!
A tru flight will say something like stops 1 but no listed airport....or its says 2 stops but lists only one airport you transfer in.
For example on my holiday return travel I am on a flight with 2 stops but it just lists STL as a transefer point. In looking this means that I stop some place before St Louis then transfer there.
In terms of you looking at seating order.....
generally must flights are thru flights if they are more north-south or east-west.
from where I live flying to SoCal on WN from SEA/PDX means you are going to have to change planes or fly with a stop in Oakland, San Jose, Sacremento, or Reno.
An East-WEst flight through midway is a thru flight.
A flight such as DEN-SEA is not a thru flight because it doesnt make logical sense for passangers to take that flight. The plane itself goes from DEN to SEA then to OAK and SOCAL but people will not pay to fly DEN-OAK via SEA.
Similarly you arent going to see a routing like LAS-LAX (through Oakland) oe a cleveland-milwaukie flight through nashville.
