Abstract

A record keeping system communicates with an airline's customer reservation system and a corporate client database system. A dedicated queue within the customer reservation system is accessed daily by the record keeping system to download data comprising travel itineraries. A relational database control within the record keeping system organizes the pre-travel data for efficient use by a corporate client. The reorganized data thus downloaded and organized is sent daily to the corporate clients for use in their own local database systems.
