Flight Reservation System
Abstract : The Flight Reservation System (FRS) is a comprehensive software solution designed to facilitate the booking of Flight tickets for passengers.
With the ever-growing demand for Flight travel, an efficient and user-friendly reservation system becomes indispensable for both passengers and Flight authorities.
The FRS aims to streamline the ticket booking process, improve passenger experience, and optimize operational efficiency for Flight administrations.
The FRS encompasses various modules, including user management, ticket booking, seat allocation, Flight schedule management, payment processing, cancellation and refund handling, reporting and analytics, admin management, integration, and notification. These modules work together seamlessly to provide a robust and feature-rich platform for booking Flight tickets.
Before the introduction of computerized Flight reservation systems, the process of booking Flight tickets was primarily manual and involved several challenges and limitations. Here's an overview of the existing system prior to the implementation of computerized Flight reservation systems:
Manual Booking Process:
Passengers had to visit Flight stations or authorized ticket counters to book Flight tickets.
Booking agents manually wrote down passenger details, journey information, and seat preferences on paper tickets or reservation charts.
Limited Access to Information:
Passengers had limited access to information about Flight schedules, seat availability, and fare details.
They relied on printed timetables, announcements at stations, or word-of-mouth to gather information about Flight services.
Long Queues and Waiting Times:
Ticket counters often experienced long queues, especially during peak travel seasons or for popular routes.
Passengers had to wait in line for extended periods to book tickets, leading to inconvenience and frustration.
Manual Seat Allocation:
Seat allocation was manually managed by booking agents based on availability and passenger preferences.
Passengers had limited visibility into seat availability and often had to compromise on their preferred seating arrangements.
Limited Payment Options:
Payment for Flight tickets was typically made in cash at ticket counters.
There were limited options for online or electronic payment methods, making it inconvenient for passengers.
Online Booking Portal:The proposed system includes an online booking portal accessible through web browsers and mobile applications, allowing passengers to book tickets from anywhere with internet access.Users can create accounts, search for Flights, view schedules, check seat availability, and make bookings conveniently through the user-friendly interface.
Real-Time Information:The system provides passengers with real-time information on Flight schedules, seat availability, and fare details, ensuring accuracy and reliability.Passengers can make informed decisions about their travel plans, reducing the likelihood of booking errors or misunderstandings.
Automated Seat Allocation:The proposed system employs automated seat allocation algorithms to assign seats or berths to passengers based on their preferences, availability, and booking requirements.This ensures efficient utilization of seating capacity and improves the overall passenger experience by providing optimal seating arrangements.
Passengers can book Flight tickets anytime, anywhere using the online booking portal, eliminating the need to visit ticket counters physically.
The user-friendly interface makes it easy for passengers to search for Flights, check seat availability, and make bookings with minimal effort.
Passengers have access to real-time information on Flight schedules, seat availability, and fare details, enabling them to make informed decisions and plan their travel accordingly.
Instant confirmation of bookings and electronic tickets (e-tickets) provide passengers with immediate confirmation of their reservations, reducing uncertainty and ensuring peace of mind
