What is different between non- stop flight and direct flight?

A "non-stop" flight is exactly what the name implies. For example: If you are flying from Dallas-Fort Worth to London Heathrow and the airplane has no stops between DFW airport and London Heathrow, that is a "non-stop" flight. A "direct" flight may not necessarily be a non-stop. For example: Flying from Dallas-Fort Worth to London Heathrow and the airplane stops at New York JFK airport on the way to Heathrow, but you don't have to change planes. That would be a direct flight - but it would not be a non-stop. A "connecting" flight, would require a plane change. For example: Flying from Dallas-Fort Worth to London Heathrow, you change airplanes at New York JFK and then continue flying to London Heathrow. The change of airplanes at New York JFK airport would be the "connection".
