FLIGHT/HOTEL RESERVATION SYSTEM Flight and hotel online booking engines are connected with respective channel management systems of airlines and hotels. The channel systems have updated information on the availability of flights and rooms, which is made available to the booking engines in real time. When a customer searches for flight or hotel, it has latest and updated information based on which it can confirm booking. As soon as payment is done through the secure gateway and booking is confirmed, the information is updated instantly so that other users are updated of the remaining seats and accommodation.
