what does it mean by "1 flight stop" before going to the destination?
like, i'm trying to travel from lets say, San Antonio to Chicago and it tells me 1 flight. Does it mean, have to like switch planes or just wait for more passangers or something? Its really my first time ever flying or being on a plane so i wouldn't know at all.

It probably means you won't get on a plane in San A, and get off in Chic, you will make one stop inbetween. I think if it said connecting you would need to changes planes, a "stop" usually has the same plane, but they might make you get off and then reboard.

Hi, I am the CTO of vayama.com, a major online travel website. Whenever your itinerary says something like "1 stop". This means that your flight will normally stop at an intermediary city. For example, if you were flying from San Antonio to Chicago on AA, your flight may have a stop in Dallas, AA's hub. Normally, flights listed as "1 stop" domestically do not require a change of plane. Flights listed as one stop internationally, may require you to go from a smaller plane to a larger plane. Take a look at your itinerary carefully. It should show you were the stop is. Or you can type your flight number or record locator into the airline's website to see more information about the stop.

"1 flight stop" means that you'll take off from San Antonio and instead of flying directly to Chicago, you'll fly to another airport first and you'll likely have to change planes there. Then from that airport, you'll fly to Chicago. Changing planes is very easy and not nearly as daunting as it sounds. I'll use the same example - your first flight might be from San Antonio to St. Louis. Once you get to St. Louis, look for a flight information screen - usually it's either a flat-screen or regular "tube" television. Find your flight number (it will be on your ticket) and the name of the city you're going to (Chicago) on the screen, and the gate will be listed there. Follow the signs throughout the airport to get to your next gate - you might have to change concourses, but as I said, there will be signs to guide you. If you have trouble or any questions in the airport, just ask a uniformed employee how to get to your gate and they'll gladly help you. Have a great flight.
