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.

  • Publication number: 20150332176
    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.
