Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for managing inventory availability for travel inventory items associated with travel services. An inventory request is received at an inventory system for at least one travel inventory item that includes a corporate identifier and corporate value data associated with a passenger name record from a reservation system. Availability for the at least one travel inventory item is determined. The availability is determined by determining an effective yield for the at least one travel inventory item based on the corporate value data, where the availability is based at least in part on the effective yield. An availability response is communicated to the reservation system that includes the determined availability for the at least one travel item.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for processing a travel request. A travel request is received at a reservation system that identifies a travel inventory item and a passenger name record. Whether the passenger name record includes a corporate identifier is determined. If the passenger name record includes a corporate identifier, corporate value data is determined, and an availability request that includes the corporate identifier and the corporate value data is communicated to at least one inventory system associated with the at least one travel inventory item. An availability response is received that indicates a determined availability for the at least one travel inventory item, where the determined availability is based at least in part on the corporate identifier and corporate value data.
