 ABSTRACT

An online flight booking system is a digital platform meant to ease the process of searching,
comparing, and making reservations for flight tickets for the passengers. This system
allows users to gain access to airline schedules, ticket prices, and choose travel dates and
times via a user-friendly interface. It often incorporates features such as seat selection, fare
comparisons, real-time updates on flight availability, and secure payment gateways.
Advanced systems may allow integration with third-party services, providing options like
hotel bookings and car rentals. These platforms utilize modern technologies such as AI,
cloud computing, and mobile apps to make travel planning more convenient, accessible,
and efficient for leisure and business purposes.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Online Flight Booking System is a Web Application designed to simplify and further
make the process of flight reservation. It enables users to look up flights across more
airlines, compare prices in a timely manner, check availabilities, and book tickets all at
real-time. The sophisticated platform features advanced search filters-including
departure times, flying duration, stops, as well as budget-to give its users the most
reasonable and appropriate options for meeting their travel needs.

In addition, this system features secure payment integration to support transactions

through more than one channel, such as credit cards, digital wallets, and bank transfers.
It features personalized user accounts in which the customers can manage bookings, save
preferences, and view itineraries easily. To enhance convenience, this platform also
features automated notifications for confirmations, flight updates, and offers.

With a design emphasizing scalability and security, this system uses cloud infrastructure
and encryption protocols to store massive data volumes and guard user's sensitive
information. Both personal and corporate clients benefit, having easier management of
group reservations, travel plans, and expenses.

This Online Flight Booking System bridges the gap between the traveler and the airlines,
saving time and effort while increasing transparency and convenience, making it an
indispensable tool for modern times.
 1.2 NECESSITY

The necessity of online flight booking is that it can make travel planning much easier and
streamlined. It provides unmatched convenience, efficiency, and accessibility in today's
fast-paced world where time is money. With an online booking system, a traveler can
search, compare, and book flights 24/7 from any location at home or on the go without the
hassle of visiting a physical travel agency or long waiting lines.

These systems cater to diverse travel needs, allowing users to customize their search based
on budget, schedules, and preferences. Real-time updates on availability and pricing ensure
transparency, enabling informed decisions and often unlocking cost savings through
dynamic pricing and promotional offers. Secure payment integrations make transactions
quick and safe, fostering trust among users.

For businesses, online booking systems reduce the operational overhead by automating,
improving accuracy, and adding self-service capabilities. Features like tracking travel
history, electronic ticketing, and sending real-time notifications for delay or schedule
changes improve the experience of travelers, making the process more seamless.

For globalization in an era when, whether for business or even personal purposes, one feels
a need to take his company wherever there are planes available for hiring at short notice,
or it's a case of purely tourism and personal leisure time usage, online flight booking
becomes nothing if not a necessary ingredient within this system.

 3. SYSTEM MODELING
System modeling of an online flight booking system will involve designing in detail and
structuring the frameworks that represent the different constituents and their interactions.
It will be divided into core areas with specific functions.
1. User Interface (UI)
2. Flight Search and Selection
3. Booking and Reservation
4. Payment Processing
5. Backend Services (APIs & Database)
6. Notification System
7. Admin Panel
8. Security
9. Customer Support
10. Reporting and Analytics
Interaction Model
• Flight Search to Booking: It takes in user input (departure city, destination, dates) queries
a flight database, and presents options. After a flight has been chosen, the system takes
over the booking process, checking availability, processing payment, and then confirming
the booking.
• Booking to Payment: Once the user confirms the flight, the payment system is triggered
to handle the transactions safely. Once the transaction is successfully done, a confirmation
message is sent.
• Admin and User Interaction: The admins handle the available flights, prices, and
cancellations. The users mostly interact through the booking interface. Admins also handle
customer issues in regards to bookings.
 4. METHODOLOGY

The methodology of an online flight booking system focuses on the processes, techniques,
and strategies used to design, develop, and operate the system effectively. It involves
ensuring that the system is secure, scalable, user-friendly, and integrated with various
stakeholders like airlines, payment providers, and users.

1. Agile Methodology

2. Waterfall Methodology

3. DevOps Methodology

4. Lean Methodology

5. User-Centered Design (UCD)

6. Systems Engineering

7. Cloud Computing & Microservices Architecture

8. Security-First Development

9. Testing Methodologies

The methodology behind an online flight booking system emphasizes a combination of
