Method of displaying market data when applying a mark-up to net fares

摘要

A method of applying a mark-up to net fares from agency selling records received by a selling updater is described. Upon request of the selling updater the method includes enabling the display of market data corresponding to the agency selling records. The display of market data includes first requesting a list of city pairs to be built on the basis of default search. The city pairs matching the default search criteria are then retrieved from a fares database and returned to the selling updater. After the selling updater has selected some or all city pairs, a list of net fares is further requested and retrieved from the fares database. Rule records for the retrieved net fares are also retrieved from a rules database. Net fares and rule records are associated and returned to the selling updater to be further associated with each matching item of the agency selling record. The method allows the display of the requested market data and permits the selling updater to decide on what mark-up to apply on the net fare.
