Yea... I get the 'brush-off" from family when they boast about a "direct" fight that's actually nonstop and vice versa. It's been so long in my travels that I can't recall being on a true direct flight in ages... Even when I recall taking an SFO-LAX-SAN-LAX-SFO flight just to keep my account active years ago... I don't think it was "direct" flights. But I could be entirely wrong... In fact, it's been so long that I can't recall requiring being required to get off a plane only to board it again to continue to the next stop. Yea... guess I'm just that old... LOL
