Abstract: A method of providing a carbon offset to travel taken by a traveller (101) for an organisation (102) and maintaining an audit log of such carbon offsets. Booking the travel via a travel booking service (103), allocating a unique code. Searching the travel booking database (201) after the completion date of at least one facet of the travel, cumulating the carbon offset payment figures for those facets identified as having completed and not yet subject to a carbon offset request. Completed segments can be detected by geo-location or by searching the travel booking database 24 hours after the expected completion date. Presenting a carbon offset request for those completed facets. Receiving at the booking provider from the carbon offset provider (111) confirmation of the acceptance of the request identified by the unique code. Completing the transaction. Storing each transaction in an audit log.

Abstract: An online booking system caters for the corporate booking of the travel of a number of people to a single destination or multiple destinations by providing a file with details of the trip destination, the desired time of arrival, the people involved and the criteria which override the normal corporate travel criteria. The booking system then merges this with the corporate travel criteria and any external profile criteria of the individuals, searches for suitable flights and makes incomplete bookings for individuals to the destination by connecting to a Global Distribution System (GDS) with multiple threads for parallel bookings. The system reviews the collation of the individual but incomplete bookings and, if they do not meet travel policies cancelling the totality forthwith and starting again. If the collation of the incomplete individual bookings meets travel policies completing the totality of bookings and ticketings.

Abstract: A travel booking system abstracts the user from a travel search of web and internet searches initiated by the user and the search result of those searches to present the user with a consistent interface for both entry and results. As part of the abstraction the search introduces elements of one or more traveller profiles to delineate the searches. The user may investigate the search results for a trip or alternate route options returned by a search to further direct the search or to book a search result and when a booked itinerary is returned may load this to a traveller's device together with other assistance for phases of the trip.

Abstract: A method of monitoring the expenses of a traveller during the progress of an itinerary utilises a mobile device equipped with NFC for carrying out the financial transactions associated with the itinerary and storing details of the financial transaction on a mobile device associated with the traveller, and updating a corporate ERP or similar financial database with the financial transactions to allow allocation to cost centres. The itinerary may be laid out in terms of itinerary events, each of which may be tracked by an NFC connection with an NFC device at an expected location and date for the itinerary event.

Abstract: A travel booking system calculates the comfort level of a traveller for a trip by including factors for each sector of a trip, such as an aircraft seat pitch and seat width, the flight time of a flight sector, the travel distance at any airport transits en route, the confusion level at an airport, the facilities available at a hotel, the cost of the trip, the corporate travel requirements, the travellers own preferences, and factoring these together by a process as shown to arrive at an overall comfort level. From this alternative travel routes can be compared to allow a choice of a trip route which will be as comfortable as possible and meet a required cost level.
