Just a point on the nomenclature.

Nonstop is just that. No stops.

A Direct flight is one that goes between cities, with one or more intermediate stops, but no change of planes.

A Connecting flight is just that. You change planes at an intermediate airport.

Connections are sometimes cheaper because of the inconvenience.
