 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

Airline reservation System is a computerized system used to store and retrieve

information and conduct transactions related to air travel. The project is aimed at exposing the
relevance and importance of Airline Reservation Systems. It is projected towards enhancing
the relationship between customers and airline agencies through the use of ARSs, and thereby
making it convenient for the customers to book the flights as when they require such that they
can utilize this software to make reservations.

After search the system display list of available flights and allows customer
to choose a particular flight. Then the system checks for the availability of seats on the flight.
If the seats are available then the system allows the passenger to book a seat. Otherwise it asks
the userto choose another flight

To book a flight the system asks the customer to enter his details such as name,
address, city, state, and credit card number and contact number. Then it checks the validity of
card and book the flight and update the airline database and user database. The system
alsoallows the customer to cancel his/her reservation, if any problem occurs.

The main purpose of this software is to reduce the manual errors involved in
theairline reservation process and make it convenient for the customers to book the flights as
when they require such that they can utilize this software to make reservations, modify
reservations or cancel a particular reservation.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

The project aims to design an Airline Reservation System application which enables the
customers to search and book flight . Airline Reservations Systems contain fare tariffs,
passengerreservations and ticket records.

OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT

The Airline Reservation System project is an implementation of a general Airline

Ticketing website like Orbitz, which helps the customers to search the availability of flights,
book and cancel the flight tickets. This project also covers adding, deleting or modifying
thecustomer details and flights. In general, this website would be designed to perform like
any otherairline ticketing website available online.

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The purpose of this project is to implement or to design a database for an airline reservation
system to check the flight details, book and cancel flight tickets. It makes the process of
booking and cancelling flight tickets simple and easy for the passengers.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

Normally a person wants to reserve his ticket and he has to contact at nearest Overseas Travels
branch. The Airline Reservation System provides an interface to schedule flights and
reservations for an airline through internet. Its responsibility is to keep track of system users,
customers, Airbus information, flight information and cancellation.

PROJECT PLAN AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

Airline Reservation System is one the modifications that were carried out in the Passenger
Service System so that the working and availability of Service area can be broadened. On one
hand, it helps the customers and on the other, it also makes the life of the airline service
companies easier by keeping all the records of the passengers and if there is any change in the
fight due to some reason, the passengers are promptly informed. This system is also used by
companies to keep track of user preferences of regular travelers so that they can provide better
service and give offers to customers.

CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM ANALYSIS

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Systems analysis is the study of sets of interacting entities, including computer systems
analysis.This field is closely related to requirement analysis or operations research.

It is also "an explicit formal inquiry carried out to help someone (referred to as the decision
maker). It identifies a better course of action and make a better decision than he might otherwise
have made."

The development of a computer-based information system includes a systems analysis phase

which produces or enhances datamodel which itself is a precursor to creating or enhancing a
database.

There are a number of different approaches to system analysis. When a computer-based

information system is developed, systems analysis would constitute the following steps:

• The development of a feasibility study, involving determining whether a project is

economically, socially, technologically and organizationally feasible.
• Conducting fact-finding measures, designed to ascertain the requirements of the
system's end-users. These typically span interviews, questionnaires, or visual
observations of workon the existing system.

GENERAL

• Systems analysis researchers apply methodology to the analysis of systems involved

to form and Database for checking their results.
• System analysis is used in every field where there is a work of developing
something. Analysiscan also be defined as a series of components that perform
organic function together.

 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is that the passenger must fill up the data manually and must submit it to
thereservation counter. It may take a lot of time to process it and to book the flight. Therefore
there is wastage of time. Since the data is entered manually, the probability of error or mistakes
is high.

DRAWBACKS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Entering Record-
Entry of each record is done manually each time the record is done manual each time the
recordis maintained on paper and it maximizes the maintenance of additional files.

Searching the record-

Due to absence of unique identification of a flight, the searching of record takes much time
andincreases the time wastage.

Deleting the Record-

In the current system the concept of deleting record is tedious.

Modification of Records-
If any modification is required it is done directly on the documents being preserved in
correspondence to account information.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

To avoid the limitation of current system it’s necessary to design and develop a new system
which have the following benefit and the existing system.
1. Everything is automated which reduce the risk factor.

Dr.KVSW 4 Dept. of CSE

 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

2. Flexibility in generating of information.

3. Quick retrieved and maintenance of data.
4. Highly accurate.
5. User satisfaction.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

• The proposed system due to computerized is much faster in reservation

process,cancellation process and transactions.
• Transfer of information from various branches would become easier and faster.
• Managing and maintaining data becomes easier and cost effective due to very
highamount and reliability of storage space available in the proposed system.
• Customer services can not only be satisfied but also enhanced to the extent that one
canobtain or cancel a reservation from any given time.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Feasibility study is a report directed management. It evaluates the impact of the proposed
changes in the area(s) in question. The report is a formal document for management, brief
enough and sufficiently, non technical to be understandable, yet detailed enough to provide the
basis for system design.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

Technical feasibility centers around the existing system (hardware, software, etc) into what it
cansort the proposed addition.

CHAPTER-4
SYSTEM DESIGN

INTRODUCTION TO E-R MODEL:

An ER model is an abstract way to describe a database. Describing a database usually starts
with a relational database, which stores data in tables. Some of the data in these tables point to
data in other tables - for instance, your entry in the database could point to several entries for
each of thephone numbers that are yours. The ER model would say that you are an entity, and
each phone number is an entity, and the relationship between you and the phone numbers is
'has a phone number'. Diagrams created to design these entities and relationships are called
entity– relationship diagrams or ER diagrams.

INTRODUCTION TO E-R DIAGRAM:

Entity relationship diagram is a graphical representation of entities and their relationships to
eachother, typically used in computing in regard to the organization of data within databases
or information systems. An entity is a piece of data-an object or concept about which data is
stored. A relationship is how the data is shared between entities.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

MODULE IDENTIFICATION
Each form in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is the module of our project. We are using about 8
forms in our project. Each form has a unique purpose. In 5 modules or database will be
displayedthat describes the information about all the attributes of the tables that we have created
in Oracle11g.

MODULE DESCRIPTION
The tickets issued should have the details such as plane number, ticket number, seat
number, traveler’s name, time of departure. The traveler should be informed about the check-
in time. The names of the fields involved in the airline reservation system are
• FLIGHT DETAILS
• CHECK AVAILABILITY
• BOOK TICKET
• EXIT

MODULE 1: FLIGHT DETAILS

This module is used to view the flight details with ease and it tends the passenger to
book tickets without much difficulty.

MODULE 2: CHECK AVAILABILITY

This module is used to check the availability of the flights and the information of
the seats in that flight.

MODULE 3: BOOK TICKET

This module is used to book the ticket after checking the availability of
tickets inthe flights. A ticket can be booked just by entering the passenger name, age and
their details.

MODULE 4: EXIT
This module is used to exit from the reservation form.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANACEMENT

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

The Airline reservation system has been a way of minimizing the clerical work,
which is almost a routine and consumes the most precious time. This AIRLINE
RESERVATION SYSTEM has been an attempt to help the user to minimize his workload
along with minimizing the paper works and saving of time .The system has been developed in
a way to make it very user friendly. It provides an on-line message and an error detection and
error messages every time the user needs. Any person having a little bit of window based can
run this system without any pain. As a FUTURE ENHANCEMENT we have decided to further
enhance with a seat reservation available. It is to fulfill passengers request to sit where they
prefer. They are allowed to choose their seat whether near to window’s seat or in the middle.
