Abstract: A flight reservation can be made on behalf of a traveller based on determining that there is no initial profile stored for the traveller or the profile is incomplete, loading a ghost profile comprising information associated with a customer on whose behalf the traveller will be traveling, and storing in a travel record the information associated with the customer. Information drawn from the ghost profile can be used to populate fields in a Passenger Name Record and a booking made.

Abstract: Multiple record management functionality can be used for bulk PNR creation. The multiple record management functionality can take a structured input file containing travel requests and process the requests, such as by a set of client-specific rules, to create shell PNRs with the air segments and profile information included. The multiple record management functionality can also provide a reporting capability to detail the outcome of individual requests or a set of requests. Preference-driven bookings can be made based on a customer-defined overall value proposition. Bookings can be made for non-profiled travelers.

Abstract: A method and system for consolidating travel records from on the one hand a source derived from a Global Distribution System or more generally a first travel database, and on the other hand a source derived from non-Global Distribution System information or more generally a second travel database. It is determined whether unique identifiers associated with the two sources match, indicating that information from the source travel records can be consolidated without compromising data integrity.
