Dutch term or phrase: dagrandverbinding
From a newsletter about aviation:

"Met ingang van de nieuwe winterdienstregeling vliegt SkyEurope twee keer per dag van Amsterdam naar Praag en Wenen. SkyEurope biedt hiermee een dagrandverbinding aan, namelijk op een dag heen en terug naar Amsterdam.

What is the English term for 'dagrandverbinding' ?
valley
Local time: 18:55
day return service
Explanation:
Just an idea, there may well be a better term for it.

Some support on the web, e.g.:
"Bristol International Airport and OLT Airlines have announced the introduction of the region's first *day return service* linking Bristol with Bremen and Hamburg, commencing 28th November 2005. Perfect for the business traveller, flights will depart from Bristol early morning and return early evening, allowing for day-trips to these key commercial and industrial German cities."

Or maybe even "same day return service", as in this example from the splendidly named SpiceJet:
"The new flight will depart Delhi at 0615 hours and arrive in Mumbai at 0810 hours. Same day return service will depart Mumbai at 2110 hours and arrive in Delhi 2310 hours."

agree  Siobhan Schoonhoff-Reilly: I quite like 'same day return service' - has a more polished ring to it, but day return service works well also.

Explanation:
This is a common term but... it doesn't have the "rand" in it.
