Abstract
A method and system comprising: receiving travel request data; retrieving schedule data associated with the travel request data from the database, the schedule data being further associated with a scheduled travel time; retrieving availability data associated with the travel request data from the cache, the availability data being further associated with an available travel time; and sending the schedule data and the availability data via a computer network.

A method comprising:
- receiving, with a client interface computer module comprising a database and a cache, travel request attribute information comprising:
- a departure location, a destination location, a date of desired departure, a time or time range of desired departure, a date of desired arrival, a time or time range of desired arrival, and a mode of transportation;
- retrieving, with a database query computer module, schedule data associated with the travel request attribute information from the database, the schedule data being further associated with scheduled travel times;
- retrieving, with a cache query computer module, availability data associated with the travel request attribute information from the cache, the availability data being further associated with available travel times;
- sending, with a client computer, the schedule data and the availability data to the client interface computer module via the computer network;
- and
- displaying, with a client device, a graphical representation of the schedule data and the availability data, the graphical representation comprising a timeline and rectangular regions corresponding to the scheduled travel times and/or the available travel times;
- wherein the rectangular regions are displayed differently based on a number of stops or connections and/or whether an itinerary complies with an organization's travel policies.
