  • Publication number: 20070233528
    Abstract: A system and method of the present invention assist a customer in finding travel service at or below a specified price. The system provides an interface (e.g., a webpage) in which a customer can enter criteria for travel service. In one embodiment, such criteria does not initially include price. A search is performed for travel services satisfying the criteria, and, if such travel services are found, price and other information related to such travel service is displayed to the user. The customer has the option to either purchase travel service associated with a displayed price or to continue searching for travel service at a lower price specified by the customer. If the customer elects to continue searching for travel service at a lower price, the customer specifies a price. An attempt is then made to find travel service that meets the criteria and that can be offered at or below the specified price.
