AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

The online reservation system is basically derived from the GDS (global distribution system) also known as CRS (computer reservation system). The online reservation system has its database centrally located which is accessed through an Application Programming Interface (API).With the invent of online reservation system the traveller and the airline got the freedom to book a seat anywhere at anytime at their conveniance. The traveller can book a ticket at a click of a mouse saving the time and money for the traveller. It has also become a hassle free transaction for both the airline and the traveller. The online reservation system involves three main actors the database , online operator and a database scheduler. The database scheduler updates the database , the online operator accepts and confirms the booking and updates the data.

EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing airline reservation system has many shortcomings associated with it. In the existing system airlines used to set flight reservation levels higher than seating capacity to compensate for passenger cancellations and no-shows accounting to
overbooking in the system. If a travelers had to make / cancel reservation he had to
visit either the airline or travel agent frequently to do so thus wasting time and money
for all. In the existing system due to non-availability of a central server the airline and
the agents suffered unwanted delays in bookings and payments. In the existing system
integration of different airlines on a single platform was not met. With the advent of
the online reservation system these flaws can be overcome.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
The new online reservation system maintains the database centrally giving the clients
the information required from anywhere in the world whenever required. This system
requires the use of an API (Application Programming Interface) through which it
extracts the data from a central database. The central database monitors all the data
changes that are made at the client side to it and updates it automatically.
Through online reservation system passenger is able to book & purchase the ticket
from his home/office conveniently it doesn’t require the passenger to go to the airline
or an agent to purchase a ticket thus saving time & money for the customer and an
airline/agent. As the information is stored centrally the passenger never loses his ticket
as in the existing system.
