A dedicated Li-F connection is provided for each physical space such as a seat, expected to accommodate a passenger in a travel network such as an airline. A passenger is authenticated according to a physical space occupied by the passenger. If authentication is successful, a secure Li-Fi channel is established for the passenger. The access point of the Li-Fi channel is only leveraged by the passenger and no other passengers. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method for providing a travel network infrastructure comprising: providing a dedicated Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) wireless connection for each physical space expected to accommodate a passenger in a travel network; authenticating a respective passenger according to a respective physical space occupied by the respective passenger, wherein a scan code is used to authenticate the respective passenger in an airport and/or a subsequent transport in the travel network whereby a network session is maintained during different phases of a passenger itinerary through the travel network; and responsive to a successful authentication, establishing a secure Li-Fi channel for the respective passenger, wherein an access point of the Li-Fi channel is leveraged only by the respective passenger. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a passenger itinerary is used to authenticate the respective passenger in an airport and/or a subsequent transport in the travel network whereby a network session is maintained during different phases of the passenger itinerary through the travel network. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dedicated Li-Fi wireless connection is assigned a unique address. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a passenger corpus is used to identify the respective passenger. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising tracking location of the respective passenger, if the respective passenger has changed an assigned physical space. ### Claim 6 A system comprising: a processor; a data bus coupled to the processor; and a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code used for providing a travel network infrastructure and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for: providing a dedicated Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) wireless connection for each physical space expected to accommodate a passenger in a travel network; authenticating a respective passenger according to a respective physical space occupied by the respective passenger, wherein a scan code is used to authenticate the respective passenger in an airport and/or a subsequent transport in the travel network whereby a network session is maintained during different phases of a passenger itinerary through the travel network; and responsive to a successful authentication, establishing a secure Li-Fi channel for the respective passenger, wherein an access point of the Li-Fi channel is leveraged only by the respective passenger. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the scan code is valid for a specific seat location for a specific duration. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the dedicated Li-Fi wireless connection is assigned a unique address. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein a passenger corpus is used to identify the respective passenger. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 further comprising tracking location of the respective passenger, if the respective passenger has changed an assigned physical space. ### Claim 11 A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for: providing a dedicated Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) wireless connection for each physical space expected to accommodate a passenger in a travel network; authenticating a respective passenger according to a respective physical space occupied by the respective passenger, wherein a scan code is used to authenticate the respective passenger in an airport and/or a subsequent transport in the travel network whereby a network session is maintained during different phases of a passenger itinerary through the travel network; and responsive to a successful authentication, establishing a secure Li-Fi channel for the respective passenger, wherein an access point of the Li-Fi channel is leveraged only by the respective passenger. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the dedicated Li-Fi wireless connection is assigned a unique address. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein a passenger corpus is used to identify the respective passenger. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, further comprising tracking location of the passenger, if the respective passenger has changed an assigned physical space.
