Patent

CA 2550711

A method of evaluating outbound and inbound fare amounts out of a plurality of roundtrip fare recommendations is disclosed. Intended to be displayed in a one-way like display, roundtrip fares are first obtained from a fare-driven availability engine receiving inputs from an online user of a travel website. Further recommendations are deduced by combining the above roundtrip fare recommendations in order to obtain a first improved list of recommendations which comprises more outbound and inbound fare combinations. Then, one-way fare amounts are determined for each combination from the first improved list of recommendations. A second improved list of recommendations, comprising outbound and inbound fare amounts evaluated on the basis of the initial roundtrip fare recommendations, is generated. Outbound and inbound fare amounts can thus be shown in a one--way like display of roundtrip fares to the online user of the travel website. A user interface including a first and a second panel to respectively display outbound and inbound parts of roundtrip fares is also described. Contents displayed in first and second panel are made dependent of each other. A different user selection done in first panel or in second panel modifies what is respectively displayed in second panel or in first panel. Method and user interface of the invention also include the possibility of upselling roundtrip fares on a one-way basis.
