Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for booking a travel product by incorporating a digital code associated with a travel offer into a machine-readable label and displaying the label as part of a travel offer advertisement for the travel product. The machine-readable label may be scanned by the prospective customer's mobile computing device to initiate communication between the mobile computing device and a reservation system. The customer may thereafter submit contact information and information regarding the travel offer to the reservation system. A travel dossier is generated with the received information and is queued for later review by a travel agent. The travel agent may thereafter review the travel dossier and adequately prepare to discuss the original travel offer and any alternative or substitute travel offers during a personal interaction with the customer.

Abstract: A computer travel reservation system includes at least one data processor connected with at least one memory that stores software executable by the at least one data processor. Also included is a fare family database connected with the at least one data processor that stores data defining a plurality of fare families each including a plurality of fare classes. The fare family database also stores data defining determination rules used to determine an association of at least one fare family for each fare class, each fare class being defined according to at least commercial parameters. The system further includes a fare fixing engine implemented by the at least one data processor and software. The fare fixing engine is configured to apply the determination rules to a travel product to determine a fare family associated with the travel product.
