Executive Summary

The purpose of the Airline Reservation System Project is to build an application program, which

an Airline could use to manage the reservation of airline tickets. Passengers make flight

reservations through the ticketing staff of the airline or through the integrated website, which

can access a centralized system to check on flight details. The system is able to create flights,

delete flights and reserve seats for passengers according to their requested destination, day

and time.

The system interfaces to the ticketing staff and the airline manager. The staff accesses flight

data for passenger to consider a trip, and make reservations according to passengers’

preferences. It searches all flights with a given origin and destination airport. For each flight

found, the system displays the flight number, arrival and departure time and the seat capacity.

The reservation is according to customer desire. Reservation must be done within specific time

that set by the airline before the flight. The airline manager is responsible to maintain the flight

schedule. He has the authority to change the fare for a flight, departure, arrival date and time.

He is also able to schedule new flights and drop the flight from schedule. Airline manager has

the authority to insert new user or ticketing staff for the system

SYNOPSIS: The purpose of the Airline Reservation System Project is to build an application program, which an airline could use to manage the reservation of airline tickets. Passengers make flight reservations through the ticketing staff of the airline, which can access a centralized system to check on flight details. The system able to create flights, delete flights and reserve seats for passengers according to their requested destination, day and time. The system interfaces to the ticketing staff and the airline manager. The staff accesses flight data for passenger to consider a trip, and make reservations according to passengers’ preferences. It searches all flights with a given origin and destination airport. For each flight found, the system displays the flight number, arrival and departure time and the seat capacity. The reservation is according to customer desire. Reservation must be done within specific time that set by the airline before the flight. The airline manager is responsible to maintain the flight schedule. He has the authority to change the fare for a flight, departure, arrival date and time. He is also able to schedule new flights and drop the flight from schedule. Airline manager has the authority to insert new user or ticketing staff for the system.

PURPOSE/ BUSINESS NEED:

With Airline Reservation System implemented, the airlines may be subjected to many benefits, the benefits are as listed below: - • Increase in Sales of Tickets With Airline Reservation System, we can track our passengers purchasing preferences and with this we can promote special flight packages to our existing passengers. Passengers’ reservations patterns can also be used to determine the marketable flight and then try to provide more flights and services to fulfill the high demand. Besides, ARS is also capable in increasing passenger loyalty and satisfaction by providing good reservation and services. • Reduce in Time and Cost Traditional paper reservation records have many drawbacks: they can be incomplete, torn, worn, misplaced, or lost. They also require a lot of storage space in addition to requiring extensive administrative time from user. With the implementation of ARS, it will prevent data lost with back-up function and decrease in cost and time. It can increase the speed of searching, processing and making reservation. Thus, it gives satisfactory to passengers. From the data stored in the system, it is capable to generate Daily/monthly sales report automatically. Users do not have to waste their time to generate the report manually. • More Organized Information

Semester Project

Flight ticket reservation method has better organization of information for better retrieval with ARS. All other relevant data can be managed and well-organized using the system. Data will be stored in the database accordingly. Thus, user can make a clear view on any data as they wish without any problem

Semester Project

• To reduce cost of the airline by decreasing counter of selling tickets.

• To report on flight status and sales performance.

Project Goals

The primary goal of this project is to help the passengers make flight reservation. The system will be able to find all the flights fulfilling a passenger’s needs. It is also capable to search all flights with a given origin and destination. The system displayed the arrival and departure times, the price, and the flight number for each flight it finds. Then, the passenger will decide the flight reservation based on the displayed information.

The secondary goal is to provide a means for the airline manager to manage the flights. The airline manager will be able to schedule new flights, drop flights from the schedule and change the fare for a flight. Manager will also have clearer and better view about the flight schedule. The manager can decide to add flights if there are high demand of reservation at a certain time (e.g.: festive season). This system is capable to increase the sales performance by providing daily/weekly/monthly sales report.
