Airline reservation software is resourceful application software used for the administration of the airline reservations and uses a technique called automated Airline Reservation System (ARS). This type of software is used by travel agents and airline companies to make their work easier and avoid the problems regarding seats, confirmation of available seats, etc.

Many companies offer ready made software, but the important thing here is to update the software so that the latest real time information is provided by the software which is essential. For example, if a new flight service is setup or if any flight is cancelled by the airline companies, it should be updated immediately. The software should be designed so that it gives the accurate information to the user. The information should be updated because if only one seat is available and another person reserves that seat just a few seconds before, then the software should update the data immediately and display the information to the user.

This software helps to reserve seats for the airline by gathering the details from the user such as Name, Age, Address, Contact number, profession, Email ID, From and To destination, Time and day of journey, No Of Persons, Seat Type, and Seat Assignment. Such data will be saved in the database server of the reservation software. One of the top reservation software is the SkyVantage Airline Management System.

Usually the reservation software is used as online software in the form of an application. The software will be designed such that it will be hosted on a website of an airline travel agency or a travel company and the information will be updated time to time to a remote database server. The data is updated immediately to the server because at the same time many users will be reserving the seats from different places. So each request will be send to the central server by the software and the server will check the request. If the request can be granted, the server will give a positive response to the user or else it will indicate an error message like “Sorry the Seat is Unavailable” will be sent back to the user.
