generally considered to be the user side system for any airline or
GDS. It consists of the exchange of data through the GDS system,
which consolidates the worldwide airline data and share through
unique web services API. This is an effective and efficient way of
consolidating the global airlines availability and pricing, which is
combined together with best GUI interface and published for end users
on any airline reservation system (GDS based).

reservation system is a part of comprehensive travel
reservation system, which consist-off hotel reservation system,
transfer system and sightseeing module. GDS system, which is known as

reservation system and the end airlines, because it consolidates the
data including the availability and pricing. The end buyers can check
the availability and do the booking, which in turn is forwarded to
airlines console through GDS.

roundtrip, multi-destinations all together. Thus also providing the
end users the better deals / offers on every booking, they do. Most
of the reservation systems are also offering the dynamic packages
