Abstract

Travel agencies offer their services via the Internet, which creates new methods of communication and connection between customers and third companies. Due to the difficulty that the management of large volume of flight routes represents, it is necessary to capture the information provided by airlines through a variety of services, providing end customers with competitive fares. In this paper, we analyse the information source of flight fares offered by airlines, studying the difficulties, limitations and costs involved in accessing these data. A framework that explores the possibilities of finding "hidden" flight fares that result in much cheaper options in comparison to the average price of each flight route will be presented.
