Revenue-optimized opaque bookings

Abstract of the Disclosure 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. 200 02 ,04 306 Opaque Opaque Opaque Reservation Channel Booking Space Table Inventory OB Request Create OB Record 08 ( D Trigger 4 reoptimization if no available TS Add OB A A BSelect TS for OB Complete OB ( A5 ) Trigger global optimization Regular/adhoc global optimization batch Optimize OB distribution Finalize A Batch Select OB's to be finalized Optimize OB distribution * ________(_A9 Return final TS's Convert to standard bookings Notify travelers Opaque Opaque Opaque Reservation Booking Space Table Inventory System
