Revenue-optimized opaque bookings

摘要

An apparatus, program product and method delay finalization of a travel itinerary for an opaque booking until a point in time after the opaque booking is completed, such that the travel itinerary for the opaque booking may be reassessed prior to finalizing the travel itinerary. Reassessment of opaque booking travel itineraries may be performed using a global optimization that operates across multiple opaque bookings to attempt to generate travel itineraries that optimize revenue for one or more travel providers.
