Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating travel recommendations and alternative travel recommendations. At least one minimum fare path having an associated value may be determined based on a travel request. At least one alternative fare path having an associated value may be determined based at least in part on the associated value of the at least one minimum fare path. At least one travel recommendation may be generated based on the at least one minimum fare path, and at least one alternative travel recommendation may be generated based on the at least one alternative fare path.
Claims29
A method of generating at least one travel recommendation and at least one alternative travel recommendation, the method comprising:
- receiving a travel request including a geographical constraint and a time constraint at a travel server;
- determining with a processor of the travel server at least one minimum fare path including an associated value based on the geographical constraint and the time constraint of the travel request;
- generating at least one travel recommendation based on the at least one minimum fare path, each travel recommendation including an associated price;
- determining at least one alternative fare path including an associated value by filtering a plurality of candidate fare paths based at least in part on the associated value of the at least one minimum fare path;
- and
- generating at least one alternative travel recommendation based at least in part on the at least one alternative fare path, each alternative travel recommendation including an associated price.
A travel server configured to generate at least one travel recommendation and at least one alternative travel recommendation, the travel server comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- program code configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to receive a travel request including a geographical constraint and a time constraint, determine at least one minimum fare path including an associated value based on the geographical constraint and the time constraint of the travel request, generate at least one travel recommendation including an associated price based on the at least one minimum fare path, determine at least one alternative fare path including an associated value by filtering a plurality of candidate fare paths based at least in part on the associated value of the at least one minimum fare path, and generate at least one alternative travel recommendation including an associated price based at least in part on the at least one alternative fare path.
A program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium;
- and
- program code stored on the computer readable storage medium and configured upon execution receive a travel request including a geographical constraint and a time constraint, determine at least one minimum fare path including an associated value based on the geographical constraint and the time constraint of the travel request, generate at least one travel recommendation including an associated price based on the at least one minimum fare path, determine at least one alternative fare path including an associated value by filtering a plurality of candidate fare paths based at least in part on the associated value of the at least one minimum fare path, and generate at least one alternative travel recommendation including an associated price based at least in part on the at least one alternative fare path.
