Abstract: A device, system and method for mode-based synchronization of data records is provided. Booking data is received, at one or more computing devices, from one of a first and second client device. When received from the first client device, in a first order mode for the booking data, the device(s): cause an order management system (OMS) to generate: order data at a first database; and cause a legacy system to generate a corresponding passenger name record (PNR) at a second database, the corresponding PNR being one-way synchronized to the order data. When received from the second client device, in a legacy mode for the booking data, the device(s): cause the legacy system to generate, a PNR and/or ticket data at the second database; and cause the OMS to generate corresponding order data at the first database, the corresponding order data being one-way synchronized to the PNR and/or the ticket data.

Abstract: Onboard servers, and methods for communicating over wireless interface between an onboard server installed in an airplane and a ground server located remote from the airplane. Executable application code and first user data is received by the onboard server from the ground server before take-off of the airplane and stored. At least a part of the executable application code is executed by the onboard server. The onboard server receives delta user data from the ground server after the take-off and before landing of the airplane. The first delta user data updates the first user data to form second user data. The onboard server, after takeoff and before landing of the airplane, transmits at least a portion of the second user data to a seat entertainment terminal mounted within the airplane and/or to a personal mobile terminal of a user aboard the airplane for presentation to the user.

Abstract: A method for changing the state of a pre-booked ticket from a first booked-state to a second check-in state, wherein the method includes a mobile device communicating through an IM communication system with a check-in desk service. The mobile device also comprises an identification instrument for a user, said check-in desk service having access to the pre-booked ticket. The method comprises the steps of connecting the mobile device to an appropriate network in order to communicate with the check-in desk, sending the identification instrument through the IM communication system to the check-in desk in order to access to the pre-booked ticket, requesting to change the pre-booked ticket state from booked to check-in and receiving an electronic boarding pass on the mobile device to access to a boarding gate.
