Abstract
A system and method are provided for maintaining updated passenger travel records across multiple system platforms. A network server is adapted to receive input data from a passenger including an indication that the passenger desires to purchase tickets or make reservations for travel related services. A booking engine acts to purchase the ticket or book the reservation and request and receive a copy of a passenger name record created by a global distribution system. The booking engine then forwards a copy of the received passenger name record to the database. The database is adapted to form an association between the received copy of the passenger name record and the input data received from the passenger, and store the copy of the passenger name record. The database may further perform a comparison between the input data and the received passenger name record to identify discrepancies.
