Airline seat management with round-trip requests

Enhancing Active Queue Management with Round-trip Time Awareness

A Case-Based Seat Allocation System for Airline Revenue Management

Airline companies usually implement revenue management to increase profits. The revenue management can be performed through seat inventory management. The current system to book seats is first-come first-served. This approach tends to sell low-price seats because low-price requests often appear earlier. It also results in low revenue. In this paper, an expected dynamic probability method and a ...

Forecasting seat sales in passenger airlines: introducing the round-trip model

The innovative idea of this research is changing the focus from valuation based customer segmentation into segmenting customers in base of their travel plans, and using price information of flights that are likely to be considered by passengers as pairs, in forecasting models. This improves forecasting models precision, supports better management of the demand among a set of potential related f...

Design Patterns: A Round-trip

Design patterns are of major interest to increase software quality and abstraction level. However, design patterns are difficult to choose, to apply, and to recover. We propose a set of tools to use design patterns in a round-trip fashion. We define a meta-model to describe design patterns. This meta-model is specifically oriented towards design patterns instantiation and detection. We develop ...

Analysis of Airline Passenger Trip Delays

The purpose of the Air Transportation System (ATS) is to provide safe and efficient transportation of passengers and cargo. The on-time performance of the ATS is measured by flight-based metrics such as flight delays and flight cancellations. Researchers have shown that flight-based metrics do not accurately reflect the passenger trip experience, and especially underestimate the impacts of canc...
