A method of automatically generating pre-ticketed booked travel reservation information for at least one traveler, comprising the steps of:

• entering a first locally operated computer system selected from among a plurality of associated locally operated computer systems;
• acquiring traveler identification information for each traveler;
• accessing a computer reservation system from the first locally operated computer system;
• creating a passenger name record in the computer reservation system for each traveler;
• inserting the traveler identification information into the passenger name record;
• generating, in the computer reservation system, at least one potential travel itinerary, including at least one travel transaction, for each traveler;
• selecting at least one travel itinerary for booking;
• booking a reservation in the computer reservation system for each selected travel itinerary;
• placing information regarding the booked travel itinerary reservation in the passenger name record;
• creating an information management record in the computer reservation system, based on the contents of the passenger name record, automatically and substantially immediately after the reservation is booked;
• automatically transferring the information management record to the first locally operated computer system substantially immediately after the information management record is created;
• causing the computer reservation system to determine at least a second locally operated computer system, selected from among the plurality of associated locally operated computer systems, that also requires the information in the passenger name record and then automatically transferring the information management record to the second locally operated computer system;
• notifying at least the first and second locally operated computer systems when at least a portion of the information in the passenger name record is subsequently modified;
• and
• providing an updated information management record to the first and second locally operated computer systems when at least a portion of the information in the passenger name record is subsequently modified.
