The term is borrowed from the rail transport practice of gauge change. When a feeder flight connects to a flight on a larger aircraft, this is sometimes called a funnel flight.A Y-type change of gauge is one in which a given flight is transferred into two other flights with different destinations. In this case, there are two flight numbers. For example, flight number 100 may fly Boston-Paris-Athens, while flight number 200 may fly Boston-Paris-Rome, where the Boston-Paris leg is on the same aircraft in both cases.Some passengers, such as persons with disabilities or who otherwise arenot disposed to make a connection, prefer to book on flights without a change ofaircraft. However, passengers could incorrectly assume that if they are travelingon a single flight number they will not be required to change planes. Single flightnumbers are typically used for an originating domestic to international destinationor the return (e.g., San Francisco to Chicago to Paris)."@en }
