Leg
A leg is a section of a journey that is booked through the same carrier. A leg is usually composed of consecutive segments of a route. Also called Bookable Leg. A legged journey is a journey that is booked as multiple legs, usually with different carriers for each leg. A multi-legged journey is a legged journey that has more than two legs.
Pros of a leg in logistics:
- Allows for easy booking of a journey through multiple carriers.
- Can often be cheaper than booking a direct journey.
- More flexible than a direct journey – can stopover at different places along the way.
Cons of a leg in logistics:
- Can take longer to complete the journey.
- May require more planning and coordination than a direct journey.
- May be more difficult to change or cancel than a direct journey.
In general, legs can have different carriers for each leg, which can make the booking process easier and often cheaper than booking a direct journey. Legs can also be more flexible than direct journeys, allowing for stopovers at different places along the way. However, legs may take longer to complete and may require more planning and coordination than a direct journey.
