All of your sentences - with a little modification - would work. However the most natural sentence would probably be;

"Did you fly directly, or did you have to change flights?"

This way you leave the question 'open', which allows the respondent to give you more information.

"My flight was direct"
"I had to change planes in Dubai"
"I had a direct flight to Beijing, and then took an internal flight on to Taiyuan"
