Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with certain principles related to the present invention determine an impact of schedule changes on passenger flow and re-accommodate disrupted passengers. A passenger flow re-accommodation process is performed that determines a value for a disrupted passenger based on selected criteria and rules that may be established by travel service providers. The value and available travel service information are used by the process to rebook the disrupted passenger on a selected alternative itinerary. A notification of a successful rebooking may be provided to the disrupted passenger and/or the travel service provider.
