What does it mean when there is a layover but no plane change?

On the no change of plane you stay on and don't get off. When you check in 24 hrs before your first flight and it has a connection and it's on the same reservation number it checks you in for both. You will then print out two different boarding passes for your flights.

But occasionally when the layover is really long, the airline won't be able to tag it to your final destination. Usually this happens when the second flight leaves more than 24 hours after the first flight, but no matter what, you should confirm how the airline is handling your checked bags.

Airlines can schedule multiple flights with the same flight number on the same day (sometimes on the same route and sometimes on different flight segments). This varies by carrier.

Codeshare. In a codeshare, airlines share their aircraft with others, resulting in the flight having more than one flight number on the same sector, and either the same or different flight numbers on joined sectors.

MORE DETAILS

The airlines are not allowed to cancel a flight, just because there aren't enough passengers. If no one shows or buys a ticket for the flight, they may not fly the plane. If the flight is going to a destination that needs a plane, they will fly the plane there with or without passengers.

MORE DETAILS

If a flight is almost empty then there are no reasons to cancel a flight to reduce the cost of the flight. There are many incidences where a flight was carrying only one passenger. The reason could be that the airline might be carrying some deliveries or cargos which would be profitable for the airline firm.
