  • Patent number: 12346840
    Abstract: A system and a method for generating and displaying candidate virtual interline routes for travel between an origin location and a destination location. The system identifies a set of candidate virtual interline routes based on the origin location and the destination location, each including multiple segments offered by different carriers that lack an interline agreement. Each route is associated with a weight determined based on historical data including user input. The routes are ranked based on the weights, and a subset is selected. The system retrieves from external data providers up-to-date data associated with the subset of candidate virtual interline routes, and displays the up-to-date data on a client device of a user.
