Hi Ryan there is a misuse of the terminology...a lot of airlines mistakingly refer to "direct" as also meaning non-stop. Example SYD-SIN-LHR QF31 - this is a direct service - which means it has a single flight number and normally does not involve a change of aircraft at the transit points. QF107 SYD-LAX-JFK when sold and ticketed as a "through" service SYD-JFK is also considered a direct service for ticketing purposes eventhough there is an equip change from 744 to 332. Hope that helps...
