What's the airport called where you stop from last flight and take plane to next one?
What's the airport called where you land from last flight and need to take another plane to next one? Is it connecting airport or transferring airport?

Question

Answer

In American English I think we'd usually phrase it differently. Imagine you are flying to IAD, with a stop in ORD. You could naturally phrase this:

"I'm flying to IAD with a connection in ORD."
"I have a connecting flight in Chicago."

Referring to the airport itself doesn't come up much, but "connecting airport" seems more natural than "transferring airport" to me.

Answer

I would probably call it a connecting airport, but I would understand either phrase.

Answer

you mean the flight,it's called a transit flight

Answer

We usually say there is a layover at XYZ (airport), but it is referring to the time waiting between flights.  Or "there is a 3 hour layover at XYZ".  We could also say we need to transfer at XYZ.

Answer

Thank you, Joe. Are you saying that "layover" can also refer to some hours of stop halfway  for unexpected reasons?
