There's no end to the number of specialized definitions that surround air travel. But one that many business travelers have probably encountered is segment.

A segment is basically a portion of an airline itinerary, usually a flight between two cities that's part of a larger or longer travel plan. But if you need more info, it's best to examine air fare rules for specific fares.
