flights, hotels, transfers, sightseeing and other services. Mobile apps are connected to the
same database and access the web services from the GDS & APIs directly. The data may come
from the ticketing system’s database or it may come from the Global Distribution Systems,
hotel APIs providers or third party suppliers. Ticketing system may process the transactions
related to flights, accommodations, transfers, cars, cruise and other travel related services.

find real time availability and pricing. Once the availability is confirmed, users can proceed to
make payment to confirm the booking. This whole process is automated and end users get
the booking confirmation / PNR or voucher in no-time after making the payment. Below are
distinct advantages of travel ticketing system.
