Abstract
The key objective of this project is to develop a robust flight fare
prediction model that can accurately forecast ticket prices based
on various factors such as departure/arrival dates, airline, flight
duration, and more. This will empower users to make informed
decisions when booking flights.
Introduction
1 Importance of Flight 2 Machine Learning
Fare Prediction Approach
Accurate fare prediction The project leverages
helps travelers budget advanced ML algorithms
effectively and find the to analyze historical flight
best deals on flights. data and uncover
patterns.
3 Practical Applications
The predictions can be integrated into travel booking
platforms to enhance the user experience.
System Requirements
Hardware Software Data Sources
The system requires a machine The project uses Python 3.x along Historical flight data from
with at least 8GB of RAM and a with popular libraries like NumPy, reputable sources like airline
multi-core CPU to handle the data Pandas, Scikit-learn, and websites, travel booking platforms,
processing and model training. Matplotlib. and government databases.
Architecture
1 Data Collection
Gather historical flight data from various sources and
consolidate into a structured dataset.
2 Data Preprocessing
Clean, normalize, and engineer features from the
raw data to prepare it for model training.
3 Model Training
Apply machine learning algorithms like regression,
decision trees, or neural networks to train predictive
models.
Implementation
Data Acquisition Feature Engineering
Scrape flight data from Create new attributes from
online sources or use pre- the raw data, such as flight
existing datasets like the duration, distance, and
