Development of a Web Based Airline Reservation System

ABSTRACT

This work is aimed at the development of a web based Airline Reservation System. The current system of airline reservation is faced with few technical issues, ranging from not allowing passengers to cancel their reservations as well as does not provide functionality for passengers to view price chart. This calls for the need to develop a new system that corrects this error. The new system will allow the passenger to cancel his/her reservation, if any problem occurs and view price chat which did not occur in the old system.This system will allow the airline passengers to search for flights that are available between the two travel cities, namely the “Departure city” and “Destination city” for a particular departure and arrival dates. 

The objective of this study is to develop a web based system that will ensure enablement of online flight bookings, online access to passenger’s suggestions and complaints and a system that will enable online news publications for flight operators accessible to customers. The methodology adopted for this project is the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The system is developed using PHP, MYSQL, JavaScript and Codeigniter. This current system will make passenger airline relationship with the customers more flexible and reliable. This work successfully designed a web based airline reservation system, solved the problem of passenger unavailability to cancel flight option and provides easy access to flight information
