When we search for flights, we always try to find the most direct flights available at the lowest prices. However, some itineraries require one or more connections.

For Hotwire Hot Rates, you'll see fares designated as "0-1 stops" or "2+ stops" in your search results. Scheduled connection times for flights within the US and between the US and Canada are never more than 3 hours. Connecting times for international flights may be longer.

For our regular-rates, you'll always see the exact number of stops and duration of each flight.
