BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
[1]
The proposed project is a computerized reservation and ticketing system. Specifically, the project pertains only in the business operation of booking a passenger and reserving a seat in a flight and provides a payment process that will generate ticket in the ticketing system. The related sub-system Hotel, Tour, and Car Reservation has a direct connection in the ticketing system of the project since that the system only reserves a passenger who wants to include a hotel, tour, or car reservation in relation to their flight reservation. The developers provide a short report of their data gathered in the next paragraphs. This is an important part of this section that will give the reader an idea of what is the project theme all about. Airline reservation systems were first introduced in the late 1950s as relatively simple standalone systems to control flight inventory, maintain flight schedules, seat assignments and aircraft loading. The history of airline reservations systems began in the late 1950s when American Airlines required a system that would allow real-time access to flight details in all of its offices, and the integration and automation of its booking and ticketing processes. As a result the Semi-Automated Business Research Environment (SABRE) was developed and launched in 1964 and the real breakthrough was its ability to keep inventory correct in real time, accessible to agents around the world. Prior to this, manual systems required centralized reservation centers, groups of people in a room with the physical cards that represented inventory, in this case, seats on airplanes. The deregulation of the airline industry, in the Airline Deregulation Act, meant that airlines, which had previously operated under government-set fares ensuring airlines at least broke even, now needed to improve efficiency to compete in a free market. In this deregulated environment the Airline Reservation System and its descendants became vital to the travel industry. The modern airline reservation system is comprehensive suite of products to provide a system that assists with a variety of airline management tasks and service customer needs from the time of initial reservation through completion of the flight. The Airline Reservations System (ARS) was one of the earliest changes to improve efficiency. Flight Reservation and Ticketing System

ARS eventually evolved into the computer reservations system (CRS). A computer reservation system is used for the reservations of a particular airline and interfaces with a global distribution system (GDS) which supports travel agencies and other distribution channels in making reservations for most major airlines in a single system. A computer reservations system or central reservation system (CRS) is a computerized system used to store and retrieve information and conduct transactions related to air travel, hotels, car rental, or activities. Originally designed and operated by airlines, CRSs were later extended for the use of travel agencies. Major CRS operations that book and sell tickets for multiple airlines are known as global distribution systems (GDS). Airlines have divested most of their direct holdings to dedicated GDS companies, who make their systems accessible to consumers through Internet gateways. Modern GDSs typically allow users to book hotel rooms, rental cars, airline tickets as well as activities and tours. They also provide access to railway reservations and bus reservations in some markets, although these are not always integrated with the main system. Airline reservations systems contain airline schedules, fare tariffs, passenger reservations and ticket records. An airline's direct distribution works within their own reservation system, as well as pushing out information to the GDS. The second types of direct distribution channel are consumers who use the internet or mobile applications to make their own reservations. Travel agencies and other indirect distribution channels access the same GDS as those accessed by the airlines' reservation systems, and all messaging is transmitted by a standardized messaging system that functions on two types of messaging that transmit on SITA's HLN [high level network]. These message types are called Type A [usually EDIFACT format] for real time interactive communication and Type B [TTY] for informational and booking type of messages. Message construction standards set by IATA (International Air Transport Association) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), are global, and apply to more than air transportation. Since airline reservation systems are business critical applications, and their functionally quite complex, the operation of an in-house airline reservation system is relatively expensive. Prior to deregulation, airlines owned their own reservation systems with travel agents subscribing to them. Today, the GDS are run by independent companies with airlines and travel agencies as major subscribers. Flight Reservation and Ticketing System

1.1 Project Overview
[3]
The proposed project is entitled Flight Reservation and Ticketing system. The project is one of the eleven (11) sub-systems of the main project Airline Management System that must be capable to be integrated into the other subsystems of the main project. The main project reservation system is divided into two categories which are the flight reservation (FR) and the hotel, tour, car reservation (HTCR). The proposed project handles the FR of the reservation system that includes the ticketing system of both the FR and HTCR. Thats why in conclusion the name of the original reservation system is renamed to be as Flight Reservation and Ticketing System (FRAT) and Hotel, Tour, Car Reservation (HTCR). The proposed project focuses on developing a flight reservation system that specifically used only to book different types of passengers in a flight including their baggage. Cargo reservation is temporarily not included in the proposed project since that the developers want to assure that the primary purpose of the project which is making reservation of passenger for air travel to be reach first. Cargo reservation will soon to be develop ones that the flight reservation for passenger finished. The proposed project will follow the IATA and ICAO standards in designing the flight reservation system structure. To be able for the system to operate in the airline industry operation, this standard should have to be implemented in the system. The ticketing system of the proposed system seems to be ticketless. The ticketing structure also follows the standards. An option to print the ticket of the passenger desired flight reservation is still given. But what the good thing on making the flight reservation ticketless is that the passenger and the airline company itself will save time and money. Excess baggage computing and ticketing is also included in ticketing system of the proposed project. The baggage management module of the project not only manages
Flight Reservation and Ticketing System
[4]
baggage. It also contains baggage marking and it can also track the passenger baggage. Material Order Inventory is also automatically managed. The material needed by the passengers should have to be supplied and given before the flight proper. Material Order Inventory directly communicates to the flight operation and engineering sub-system.Sales should also automatically collect and compute by the ticketing system. This report generated in this system should have to be forwarded to the finance and accounting sub-system. The Flight Reservation and Ticketing System of the proposed project will provide a computerized system that an airline company could use in their business operation. The proposed project will provide the following modules to manage the whole flight reservation and ticketing system: 1. Operation Module a. Flight Reservation and Ticketing System i. Online Public Flight Reservation and Ticketing System ii. Online Private Flight Reservation and Ticketing System 1. GUI Program 2. Console Program b. Flight Seat Inventory Control c. Message Delivery Module i. E-mail Messaging ii. SMS Messaging d. Baggage Management Module e. Material Order Inventory 2. Administrative Module a. System Authorized Users b. System Maintenance

Alliance Airline
[16]
An airline alliance is an agreement between two or more airlines to cooperate on a substantial level. Alliances provide a network of connectivity and convenience for international passengers and international packages. Alliances also provide convenient marketing branding to facilitate travelers making inter-airline code share connections within countries. This branding goes as far as to even include unified aircraft liveries among member airlines. Alliance airline for travel times a ticket is valid for Carriage for one year from date of issue, except as otherwise provided or referred to in the Ticket or these Terms and Conditions. Alliance airline may refuse transportation if the applicable fare has not been paid. Alliance airline Schedules, Cancellation of Flights, undertake to use the best efforts to carry passenger baggage with responsible dispatch and to adhere to published schedules in effect on the date of travel. If due to circumstances beyond control alliance cancel or delay a flight, are unable to provide previously confirmed space, fail to stop at passenger stopover or destination point, or cause passenger to miss a connecting flight on which hold a reservation, alliance shall, at option: (a) carry passenger on another scheduled services on which space is available; or (b) reroute passenger to the destination indicated on the Ticket or applicable portion thereof by Alliance own scheduled services or the scheduled services of another carrier, or by means of surface transportation. If the sum of the fare, excess baggage charge and any application service charge for the revised routing is higher than the refund value of the Ticket or applicable portion thereof, alliance shall charge passenger no additional fares or charges, and shall refund the difference if the fare and charges for the revised routing are lower; or
[17]
(c) make a refund in accordance with the provisions of Article 13, and, upon provision of the above, alliance shall be under no further liability to the passenger. Times shown in timetables or elsewhere are not guaranteed and form no part of this contract.

2.1.2 Local Literature Cebu Pacific Airline The airline was established on August 26, 1988, and started operations on March 8, 1996. Republic Act No. 7151, which grants franchise to Cebu Air, Inc. was approved on August 30, 1991. Cebu Air, Inc. was subsequently acquired by JG Summit Holdings (owned by John Gokongwei). Domestic services commenced following market deregulation by the Philippine government. It temporarily ceased operations in February 1998 after being grounded by the government due to an Flight Reservation and Ticketing System
[18]
accident, but resumed services later the next month following re-certification of its aircraft. It initially started with 24 domestic flights daily among Metro Manila, Metro Cebu and Metro Davao. By the end of 2001, its operations had grown to about 80 daily flights to 18 domestic destinations. The new aircraft a support CEBs expanding international and domestic operations which include flights to 12, soon to be 15, international destinations. On May 28, 2008, Cebu Pacific was named as the world's number one airline in terms of growth. Cebu pacific group bookings may be made through the airlines Group Sales team and will be subject to specific rules on deposits, payment, rebooking and restrictions. The passenger may contact Group Sales for more information. Cebu Pacific Air structures its tariffs and fares based on different fare buckets, including Lite Fares and other promotional fares. The fares that will be offered to a passenger will depend on which fare bucket is open on the date and at the time that the passenger makes his reservation. Minimum fares chargeable for each flight sector are published on Cebu Pacific Airs website, in newspapers of general circulation and other available media. Passengers may also visit or call Cebu Pacific Air and ticket agent offices for more information. Fares are considered flown and will be forfeited when a passenger is a noshow at the check-in counter or, following successful check-in, at the boarding gate. Promo fares and Lite Fares with promo code discounts and the applicable fees, taxes and surcharges are non-reroutable, non-refundable and may not be stored in a Travel Fund but may be rebookable (except to another promo seat after the sale period). Where allowed, rebooking must be done more than 4 hours before scheduled time of departure. Rebooking is applicable only to higher class than the cancelled flights class subject to applicable fees and fare differences. If rebooked with a fare upgrade, and the passenger cancels and applies for a Travel Fund, only the value of the additional collection in the rebooked itinerary will be stored in that Travel Fund. Combination of Regular Fare and Promo Fare in one PNR is allowed.
[19]
Flight Changes may be done to any of the sectors but regular fare shall apply to all the sectors in the passenger booking record and the passenger shall pay where applicable, the change fee on the rebooked sector and price difference between the promo fare and the regular fare to a higher class on all the sectors or, the cancel fee on the cancelled sector and the price difference between the promo fare and the regular fare to a higher class on the non-cancelled sector. Go through fare must be used in sequence, as booked. Cancellations and flight changes such as rerouting or rebooking will not be permitted once any of the segments is used. Partially used through sector is non-refundable. Seat Selector of Cebu pacific, all seats in the aircraft are assigned and may be reserved during booking by paying a minimal fee.

Air Philippine Express Air Philippines Corporation, now operating as PAL Express (formerly Airphil Express, Air Philippines), is a low-cost airline based in Pasay City, in the Philippines. It operates both domestic and international scheduled services from Manila, Cebu, Davao and Zamboanga. The airline was re-branded for a number of times, first as Air Philippines, then as PAL Express. Due to financial losses, Air Philippines ceased operations for a short while until it was acquired by investors from the Lucio Tan group. After the acquisition, the airline was re-launched as PAL Express, to operate some routes and slot assignments of its sister company Philippine Airlines until the management decided to re-brand the carrier as a budget airline now known as Airphil Express. The new Airphil Express is Philippine Airlines' answer to Cebu Pacific Air's dominance on the low cost travel market in the Philippines which significantly shrunk its market share and relegated it to the no. 2 spot from its dominant no. 1 position since inception. It allowed PAL to focus on the premium market where it does not have competition in the domestic Philippine market. Airphil Express gained significant increase in passengers following its launch as a low-cost carrier competing head on with Cebu Pacific Air. The airline is currently on fleet acquisition mode to support its planned domestic and international route expansion plan. Airphil Express currently holds the no. 3 position among Philippine-based airlines with 19% market share. Air Philippines was incorporated on 13 February 1995, with the base of operations being the former Naval Air Station Cubi Point. Flight operations started on 1 February 1996 with a Boeing 737-200 between Subic Bay, Iloilo and Flight Reservation and Ticketing System
[21]
Zamboanga. In 1996 six NAMC YS-11 and four Boeing 737-200 aircraft were acquired by the company. In 1997 an additional one Boeing 737-200 was acquired. In this same year the airline carried over 675,000 passengers and over 773,000 in 1998. In September 1998 the airline was temporarily grounded by the Philippine Air. Transportation Office, but was reactivated when U-Land agreed to purchase a stake.

Zest Airways Zest Airways, Inc. operating as Zest Airways (formerly Asian
Spirit, colloquially called Zest Air), is an airline based at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City, Metro Manila in the Philippines. It operates scheduled domestic and international tourist services, mainly feeder services linking Manila and Cebu with 24 domestic destinations in support of the trunk route operations of other airlines. The airline was originally founded as Asian Spirit, the first airline in the Philippines to be run as a cooperative. On 16 August 2013, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), the regulating body of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines for civil aviation, suspended Zest Air flights until further notice due to safety issues. Less than a year after AirAsia and Zest Air's strategic alliance, the two companies have rebranded as AirAsia Zest. It started operations in April 1996 with two second hand Dash 7 aircraft servicing only one scheduled commercial route with two flights per day from Manila to Malay, serving the fledging resort island of Boracay. To maximize its aircraft utilization, it introduced new routes to the present-day towns of San Jose, Virac, Daet and Alcantara, and the cities of Cauayan andMasbate, regarded as secondary and tertiary routes by Air Transportation Office, and are not serviced by major airlines. In 1997, the cooperative changed to a corporate set-up with the establishment of Asian Spirit, Inc., whose registration was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2005.

The study with the current issues and problems compromise of collected research study. 2.2.1 Foreign Studies Pakistan International Airlines Pakistan is very well known around the world for its IT Professional and talent found here. Pakistani Professionals has done a lot in IT Industry and counted among the best available IT Resources. It is not an easy task to make a complete Airline Management Software it required very in-depth knowledge about the Industry as well as excellent analytical skills and most importantly courage and willingness to do such a huge project. More than that we need a support a chance because making software is not a big deal getting it accepted by an Airline and people who support you and encourage you and give you the chance to show the talent you have is more important. PIA has successfully developed an ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning) standard Airline Management System which is capable of fully automating any full service carrier. It is totally developed by Pakistani IT Professionals; PIA has done the Analysis, Design, Application Architecture, Database Architecture, Security Matrix, and Web Server Administration Support. PIA have used the latest development technology currently being used, PHP (MVC Pattern), MS SQL Server 2008, JQuery, CSS, HTML. PIA has successfully design and implemented the AI (Artificial Technology) & BI (Business Technology) Technology, which helps the user to avoid making mistakes as much as possible, have coded the Flight Reservation and Ticketing System
[23]
Industry Standards in such a way that Air Ikon has the capability to make suggestions to its users and can stop from making mistakes. For example if a user is making a flight schedule which has a distance of 3000 Nautical Mile, and is assigning an aircraft which has the flying range of 2500 Nautical Mile, the application wont simply allow the user to assign that aircraft even by mistake. This is just a small example Air Ikon is much more capable to help its users in day to day operation and makes life easy and to be more productive and accurate. Main Features of Air Ikon are: Company Management, Regional Management, Fleet Management, Ticketing & Reservation Management, Customer Loyalty Management, Agent Management, Flight Management, Fares Management, Departure Control System, Cargo Management, Purchase
Management, Warehouse / Inventory Management, Aviation / Engineering Management, HR Payroll & Attendance, Finance & Accounts Management, Catering Management, User Role & Security, Dashboard & Reports. The most of the Airline Management Systems are focused on Ticket Reservation System, and avoids the major departments and sections of an airline. PIA at Air Ikon has tried to cover all the departmental needs with smooth integration to ensure that every department can communicate better and the access to information would be much easier then it was
American Airlines American Airlines is not a flag carrier, as that term is generally used in commercial aviation. Its subsidiary shares its name with American eagle, and operates much of the regional carrier's flights. The developers look the best and worst features of American airlines. System wide upgrades are good on any fare, Delta makes you buy nearly a full (M) fare ticket before you can be eligible for upgrade. United places fare restrictions. You pay more to play the upgrade lottery and if you dont clear the upgrade youve spent more than necessary for a seat in Flight Reservation and Ticketing System
[24]
back. An American Airlines system wide upgrade, top tier elites get 8 per year, is valid from any pad fare. Competent agents on the telephone, US Airways agents dont know geography. United agents are totally hit-or-miss, some are outstanding and others are at war with their customers. Americans phone agents are consistently friendly and try to help. Discounts, Passenger love applying discount promotion codes to reservations, its usually possible to get 5% off when booking at AA.com. And passengers love double dipping with their small business program, Business ExtrAA, some of the lowest level awards you can cash in points for are giving away Gold status to someone else and getting a years Admirals Club membership. Same-day confirmed flight changes incur a fee even for top tier elites. The competitors waive this fee; the $75 applies to change a flight if same-day changes are available even to their 100,000 mile flyers. Cash co-pays apply for domestic mileage upgrades even for top tier elites. Customer dislike cash co-pays to begin with, a fee to be able to use your miles. United waives the fee for their elites who spend miles to confirm domestic upgrades. American does not. If customers want to spend miles to ensure will get the upgrade, even as a 100,000 mile flyer customer have to cough up $75 each way. Alliance Airlines An alliance airline have benefits can consists of; an extended network: this is often realized through code sharing agreements. Many alliances started as only a code sharing network. Cost reduction from sharing of: Sales offices, Maintenance facilities, Operational facilities, e.g. catering or computer systems, Operational staff, e.g. ground handling personnel, at check-in and boarding desks, Investments and purchases, e.g. in order to negotiate extra volume discounts. Traveler benefits can include: Lower prices due to lowered operational costs for a given route, more departure times to choose from on a given route, more destinations within easy reach, Shorter travel times as a result of optimized Flight Reservation and Ticketing System
[25]
transfers, a wider range of airport lounges shared with alliance members, Faster mileage rewards by earning miles for a single account on several different carriers, Round-the-world tickets, enabling travelers to fly over the world for a relatively low price. Airline alliances may also create disadvantages for the traveler, such as: Higher prices when all competition is erased on a certain route, less frequent flights: for instance, if two airlines separately fly three and two times a day respectively on a shared route, their alliance might fly less than 5(3+2) times a day on the same route. This might be especially true between hub cities for each airline. e.g., flights between Detroit (a Delta Air Lines fortress hub) and Amsterdam (a KLM fortress hub). 2.2.2 Local Studies Cebu Pacific Cebu Pacific Air flight bookings may be made directly on
www.cebupacificair.com, with the airlines ticket offices, through its authorized distributors and agents or via its call centre.

created and redeemable at any eBiz branch, Should be done more than 24 hours prior to flight) Create separate booking for Senior Citizen or PWD. Indicate percentage of discount in the Applied Discount field and be careful in typing the amount. Request for corresponding IDs from client for them to avail of the Senior Citizen or PWD discount. OSCA ID or any valid ID indicating age of passenger for Senior Citizen PWD ID for person with disability. All Zest Air fare already includes 10 15 kg baggage allowance. Discount will be given to passengers who will opt not to bring any check-in baggage. Bookings for flights coming from Manila already includes terminal fee. Ask client if all passengers are fit to fly and indicate it in the User Notes box. For expectant mothers, Expectant Mother Information Sheet (EMIS) and medical certificate is needed. EMIS is subject for approval of Zest Air resident physician if age of gestation is 6 months but not beyond 8 months. In booking fare with connecting flights, make sure the time of arrival is at least 4 hours from the schedule of the connecting flight to avoid delay. Recap the flight details and ask for payment first before finalizing the flight reservation. Rebooking should be done more than 24 hours prior to departure time to avoid being charged with No-show penalty. Rebooking procedure allows for change in date, time and destination of flight. Always check and collect the amount to be paid by the client if there are fare differences before finalizing the rebooking transaction. Changing or adding baggage allowance is considered a rebooking transaction. Do not forget to collect the corresponding eBiz service fee. Booking cancellation should be performed more than 24 hours prior to departure to avoid the No-Show penalty. Fare can still be refunded even after 1 year from the date of flight but is already subject to penalties and charges. Travel Fund will be created and can be redeemed in all eBiz branches. Travel Fund has no expiration but is non-transferrable. If Travel Fund was not entirely used, remaining amount can still be utilized in booking another flight for the same passenger.
[29]
Passenger who has multiple Travel Funds can combine the funds in one single reservation.
2.3 Synthesis and Significance of the Study

3.2 Relationships A client making reservation online might could be a passenger too of the flight he/she making. A client may reserve one or more person in a flight schedule including him. A reservation reference number that is being produced by the system in a reservation reference table per flight reservation instance is assigned to one or more person that is being input during this process. Therefore a one-to-many relationship exists in this process. A reservation reference number might be assigned in a multiple record in the passenger name record table. A client paying for the reservation instance he/she made is described in this paragraph. The payment or ticketing system uses the ticket reference table to record flight ticketing transaction. The ticket reference table requires reservation reference number to start calculating the whole transaction. A ticket reference number is produced by the ticket per transaction processed. Therefore as a conclusion, only one reservation reference number can be related to one ticket reference number and one-to-one relationship exists. When a flight reservation reference number has been purchased and has its ticket reference number. A ticket reference number will be generated with a corresponding booking confirmation code. Only one booking confirmation code may refer to one ticket reference number. Therefore, one-to-one relationship applies in this process.
