An on-line travel booking system includes a visual reference data afield, for example a world map. The user can click on destination or departure points, and drill down to more detailed maps. Having selected one or more legs to the journey, the user can access real-time price and availability data and can obtain a display of all alternative travel options, which can be bound by predetermined customer preferences. The system can provide alternative routes and/or automatic route selection as appropriate. In addition the system allows the user to access peripheral information relating to travel between route points or the route points themselves on-line simply by clicking on the relevant point in the visual data reference field. |
