  • Publication number: 20220374787
    Abstract: A virtual passenger service system may aggregate inventory data from various vendors by interfacing with the passenger service system of each vendor. The inventory data may be maintained in an in-memory, graph-based cache in which the inventory data is represented as a collection of interconnected nodes corresponding to airports, departure dates, airlines, flights, and arrival dates. To prevent data decay, contents in the cache may be refreshed on-demand and in accordance with a dynamically determined schedule. Interline itineraries generated by searching the cache may be refined based on vendor specific pricing, routing, and fare construction rules. The virtual passenger service system may include a machine learning model to support the dynamic pricing of interline itineraries. The virtual passenger service system may further support the partial modification of an interline itinerary, which may be realized without canceling and rebooking the interline itinerary in its entirety.
