Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aviation information technology, and in particular to a ticket upgrade method and device based on an upgrade voucher, an electronic device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous development of the aviation industry and the increasing requirements of passengers for comfort and service quality, upgrade services have attracted widespread attention as an important means to improve passenger experience and increase airline revenue. Upgrade services allow passengers to upgrade their purchased lower-class tickets to higher-class cabins before or during the flight, such as from economy class to business class or first class, so as to enjoy more spacious seats, better catering services, richer entertainment systems and other value-added services.

[0003] In the related art, due to flight initialization, the upgrade service is often subject to time restrictions. Users can only upgrade within a specific time node, including within a specific time window before the flight takes off. This is usually processed by the reservation system before the flight is initialized, or by the departure system after the flight is initialized, which limits the flexibility of the upgrade and cannot meet the needs of passengers at different time points. In addition, the upgrade price in the related art is usually determined based on the price difference before and after the upgrade and a fixed handling fee. There is a lack of a mechanism for differentiated pricing based on multi-dimensional factors, which limits the ability of airlines to adjust prices based on market and sales strategies.

[0004] To address the above-mentioned problems, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the invention

[0042] The following embodiments of the present invention can be applied to various ticket upgrade systems / applications / devices based on upgrade coupons. The present invention proposes a strategy for using upgrade coupons for upgrades, by selling upgrade coupons in advance. When upgrading, passengers directly select the upgrade coupons bound to their accounts for deduction. The upgrade coupons sold in advance can be sold at different prices according to the applicable flights and the different conditions of the passengers. During use, the number of upgrades on the same flight can also be controlled. It can not only achieve differentiated formulation of upgrade prices, but also effectively control the use of products to avoid overselling. When upgrading, it is determined whether the upgrade time is before or after the flight initialization, and different remaining seat judgment logics are selected. User upgrades are not restricted by time nodes, which improves the efficiency and flexibility of upgrade processing.

[0043] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with various embodiments.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for upgrading an air ticket based on an upgrade coupon is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0046] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an optional ticket upgrade method based on an upgrade voucher according to an embodiment of the present invention. The implementation subject of the ticket upgrade method based on an upgrade voucher in the embodiment of the present invention is a ticket upgrade system based on an upgrade voucher, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ticket upgrade method based on the upgrade coupon includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S101, receiving an upgrade request from a user terminal, obtaining a target upgrade coupon selected by a target user based on the upgrade request, and determining a flight identifier of a target flight to be upgraded by the target user.

[0048] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention supports pre-customization and sale of upgrade coupons. Users can purchase relevant upgrade coupons according to their own needs, and when upgrading their air tickets, they can select the upgrade coupons they purchased, submit upgrade requests, and handle upgrade services. After receiving the upgrade request from the user, the system (i.e., the air ticket upgrade system based on upgrade coupons) parses the upgrade request, obtains the target upgrade coupon selected by the target user, and determines the target flight and flight identifier of the target user to be upgraded. The flight identifier can be used to query information related to the target flight in the system.

[0049] Optionally, before receiving the upgrade request from the user terminal, the method further includes: configuring the upgrade coupon based on the upgrade coupon configuration rules, wherein upgrade coupons of different prices are configured based on different types of upgrade coupon configuration rules, the upgrade coupon configuration rules contain multiple rule fields, and the rule fields include at least one of the following: upgrade coupon usage channel, passenger type, passenger class, flight operation time, applicable route, applicable flight number, cabin type before upgrade, cabin type after upgrade, and upgrade coupon validity period.

[0050] It should be noted that the upgrade voucher upgrade mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention allows major airlines to flexibly configure the types, prices and usage conditions of upgrade vouchers according to market demand and operating strategies, thereby providing passengers with more personalized and wider service options. This mechanism not only improves the sales efficiency of upgrade vouchers, but also enhances the market competitiveness of airlines.

[0051] Specifically, a series of upgrade voucher configuration rules can be formulated in advance. The upgrade voucher configuration rules specify the available rule fields for configuring upgrade vouchers. When configuring upgrade vouchers, the rule fields in the rules can be freely selected and combined, so as to flexibly configure upgrade vouchers. For example, upgrade vouchers can be configured according to the following dimensions: upgrade voucher usage channel, passenger type, passenger level, flight operation time, applicable route, applicable flight number, cabin type before upgrade, cabin type after upgrade, and upgrade voucher validity period. Among them, the upgrade voucher usage channel can limit the sales channel of the upgrade voucher, so as to control the distribution and use of the voucher and optimize resource allocation; the passenger type can include the passenger himself or the transferee, etc., which helps airlines manage the transfer rules of upgrade vouchers and prevent the abuse or illegal transaction of upgrade vouchers. At the same time, different services or preferential policies can also be provided according to the passenger type; configuring upgrade vouchers based on passenger level can provide exclusive upgrade vouchers for members of different levels as part of the membership plan, enhancing membership By allocating upgrade vouchers on flight operating hours, the company can take advantage of the differences in flight operating hours to adjust the price of upgrade vouchers, optimize seat inventory management, improve aircraft seat utilization, and attract passengers with different travel preferences. The applicable routes and applicable flight numbers limit the specific flights where the upgrade vouchers can be used. Airlines can adjust the prices of upgrade vouchers on different routes to balance the upgrade demand and revenue of different routes and improve the refined management of upgrade vouchers. The cabin type before upgrade and the cabin type after upgrade specify the cabin class to which users can upgrade, and clarify the final value of the upgrade voucher, so that airlines can adjust the pricing and inventory of upgrade vouchers based on the demand and supply of target cabins, while providing passengers with clear upgrade expectations. The validity period of the upgrade voucher limits the use time of the upgrade voucher, which can control the market circulation time and use cycle of the upgrade voucher, prevent long-term backlog of vouchers or excessive use in the short term, and also adjust the supply strategy of upgrade vouchers according to seasonal demand.

[0052] By combining the above rule fields, airlines can create diversified upgrade voucher products to meet the needs of different passenger groups and enhance market competitiveness. At the same time, these configuration rules also ensure that the sales and use of upgrade vouchers are fair and efficient, which helps optimize flight seat management and improve customer satisfaction and airline revenue.

[0053] Optionally, obtaining the target upgrade coupon selected by the target user based on the upgrade request includes: verifying the target upgrade coupon to obtain a verification result; and freezing the target upgrade coupon of the target user when the verification result indicates that the target upgrade coupon has passed the verification.

[0054] It should be noted that after obtaining the target upgrade voucher selected by the user, the target upgrade voucher must first be verified, including: checking whether the upgrade voucher is within the validity period, checking whether the upgrade voucher is applicable to the flight, class, time and other conditions under the passenger's name, ensuring that the use of the upgrade voucher complies with its preset rules and conditions, confirming whether the user of the upgrade voucher meets the passenger type of the upgrade voucher, such as whether it is the ticket holder himself or the transferee, and whether the passenger's membership level meets the use requirements of the upgrade voucher. The verification result of the target upgrade voucher is obtained through multiple verifications. The verification operation can ensure the legality and rationality of the upgrade operation and avoid resource waste and disputes caused by invalid, inapplicable or over-qualified use of the upgrade voucher. The verification result will directly affect the subsequent upgrade process. If the upgrade voucher fails to pass the verification, the system will promptly feedback to the passenger to avoid invalid operations and ensure the rational allocation of resources.

[0055] Furthermore, for the target upgrade coupons that have passed the verification, the system will freeze them to perform subsequent upgrade operations. Freezing the upgrade coupons can prevent the same upgrade coupon from being used multiple times, ensuring the uniqueness and fairness of the upgrade operation. At the same time, freezing the upgrade coupons is also a reservation of upgrade resources, ensuring that before the upgrade operation is completed, the inventory of upgrade coupons and upgrade quotas will not be consumed by other upgrade requests, avoiding resource conflicts.

[0056] Step S102, obtaining the status information, upgrade limit data and upgrade record of the target flight based on the flight identifier, and querying the space data of the target flight based on the status information.

[0057] It should be noted that after the upgrade coupon is frozen, the user's target flight is upgraded. Whether the upgrade is successful depends on many factors, including the flight status, the number of remaining seats on the flight, and the upgrade limit. First, it is necessary to obtain the status information, upgrade limit data, and upgrade record of the target flight according to the flight ID. The status information is used to indicate whether the target flight is initialized. The data systems accessed before and after initialization are different. The upgrade limit data is used to indicate the maximum number of seats that can be upgraded in each cabin of the target flight, and the upgrade record represents the number of seats currently upgraded on the target flight.

[0058] Optionally, the step of querying the target flight's cabin data based on the status information includes: when the status information indicates that the target flight is in an uninitialized state, querying the target flight's cabin data through a reservation system, wherein the cabin data includes at least: cabin type, cabin grade, and the number of remaining seats in each type of cabin; or, when the status information indicates that the target flight is in an initialized state, querying the target flight's cabin data through a reservation system and a departure system respectively to obtain first cabin data and second cabin data of the target flight; and integrating the first cabin data and the second cabin data to obtain the target flight's cabin data.

[0059] It should be noted that flight initialization is an important part of the flight operation process, which refers to a series of preparations and settings made by the airline or its service provider (such as TravelSky) for the upcoming flight. This process usually takes place a few days before the flight takes off. Flight initialization marks the transition of the flight from the booking stage to the operational stage of preparing for takeoff. At this stage, the flight's seat management, passenger services, etc. will be more specific and real-time, providing systematic preparation for the smooth operation of the flight.

[0060] Before the flight is initialized, the relevant information and data of the flight are saved and processed by the reservation system. The reservation system allows users to query flight information, reserve seats, purchase tickets, and provide related services, such as changing reservations, canceling reservations, etc. The reservation system is mainly used to handle flight reservations and sales, as well as related ticketing services. Flight query and reservation: Provide flight information query and process seat reservations. Ticketing service: Support ticket sales, changes, refunds, etc. Frequent flyer services: Manage frequent flyer programs, such as points redemption, membership services, etc. Additional service sales: Sell additional services, such as seat selection, extra baggage, etc. When the flight is initialized, the airline's passenger service system will change the flight's reservation system status from "uninitialized" to "initialized". This change means that flight data (such as seat layout, reservation information, passenger information, etc.) is imported into the departure system for departure operations such as boarding, baggage handling, and flight control. After the initialization is completed, the flight information becomes visible in the departure system, and the airline can start operations such as passenger check-in and baggage check-in.

[0061] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the upgrade data, the embodiment of the present invention will access different flight management systems according to the different statuses of the target flight. Specifically, if the status of the target flight is uninitialized, the cabin data of the target flight will be queried through the reservation system. Since the data at this time has not been imported into the departure system, the seat data of the reservation system is accurate. The cabin data specifically includes: cabin type, cabin grade and the number of remaining seats of each type of cabin. On the contrary, if the target flight is in an initialized state, part of the data of the target flight will be imported and synchronized to the departure system, and related business will be handled in the departure system later. However, the data of the departure system cannot be synchronized back to the reservation system. Therefore, when querying the cabin data of the target flight, it is necessary to combine the data of the reservation system and the departure system for comprehensive analysis.

[0062] Optionally, the step of integrating the first class space data and the second class space data includes: comparing the remaining number of seats of each type of class in the first class space data with the remaining number of seats of each type of class in the second class space data to obtain a comparison result; selecting the minimum value of the remaining number of seats of each type of class as the remaining number of seats of each type of class for the target flight based on the comparison result; integrating the remaining number of seats of each type of class for the target flight with the class type and class grade of the second class space data to obtain the class space data of the target flight.

[0063] It should be noted that in order to ensure the feasibility and accuracy of the upgrade operation of the target flight after initialization, it is necessary to compare and integrate the cabin data of the reservation system and the departure system. Specifically, the remaining number of seats in each type of cabin in the first cabin data corresponding to the reservation system is compared with the remaining number of seats in each type in the second cabin data corresponding to the departure system. For example, the remaining number of seats in cabin R of the target flight in the reservation system is compared with the remaining number of seats in cabin R of the target flight in the departure system, and the minimum value of the remaining number of seats in each type of cabin is selected as the remaining number of seats in each type of cabin of the target flight based on the comparison result, thereby obtaining the cabin data of all cabins of the target flight.

[0064] Step S103, determining the target class to be upgraded for the target user based on the target upgrade coupon, extracting the remaining number of seats in the target class from the class data, extracting the upgrade limit data of the target class from the upgrade limit data of the target flight, and extracting the upgrade record of the target class from the upgrade record of the target flight.

[0065] It should be noted that the target class of the target user to be upgraded is determined based on the target upgrade coupon selected by the target user, and the remaining number of seats in the target class is extracted from the class data of the target flight, and the upgrade limit data of the target flight is obtained to determine the upgrade limit number of the target class of the target flight. At the same time, the upgrade record of the target flight that has been upgraded is obtained to determine whether the target class of the target flight can be upgraded. The upgrade limit can effectively control the usage of the upgrade product to avoid overselling.

[0066] Step S104, upgrading the target user based on the remaining number of seats in the target class, the upgrade limit data and the upgrade record, generating an upgrade result, and returning the upgrade result to the user terminal.

[0067] It should be noted that the system will compare the remaining number of seats in the target cabin with the upgrade limit data, subtract the number of seats that have been upgraded through upgrade coupons, and determine the remaining number of seats that can be upgraded. If the remaining number of seats and the remaining number of places are both greater than zero, and the upgrade request complies with the rules for using the upgrade coupon, the system allows the upgrade operation. Once the decision is made, the system will return the result of the upgrade operation to the user end, including whether it is successful, the remaining number of seats, the remaining number of places, and other information to ensure that the user can immediately understand the status of the upgrade request. If the upgrade request is approved, the system will perform the upgrade operation, including writing the high-cabin segment in the PNR, issuing the EMD ticket, deleting the low-cabin, and other steps to ensure the smooth completion of the upgrade process.

[0068] Optionally, the step of performing an upgrade process for the target user based on the remaining number of seats in the target class, the upgrade limit data and the upgrade records includes: when the remaining number of seats in the target class is greater than a preset seat base, counting the number of upgrade records of the target flight based on the upgrade records of the target flight; comparing the upgrade limit data with the number of upgrade records to obtain a comparison result; when the comparison result indicates that the number of upgrade records is less than the upgrade limit data, determining that the target class meets the upgrade conditions, and performing an upgrade process for the target user; or, when the comparison result indicates that the number of upgrade records is greater than or equal to the upgrade limit data, determining that the target class does not meet the upgrade conditions, and prompting the user terminal that the upgrade has failed.

[0069] It should be noted that when judging whether the upgrade is possible, the remaining number of seats in the target class is first compared with the preset seat base (for example, 0, which can be set to other values ​​in special cases). If the remaining number of seats in the target class is greater than the seat base, the number of upgrade records for the current target class that have been upgraded is counted based on the upgrade records of the target flight, and the upgrade limit data and the number of upgrade records are compared. If the number of upgrade records is less than the upgrade limit data, it is determined that the target class meets the upgrade conditions and the user is upgraded. Specifically, it may include writing the high-cabin segment (i.e. the class of the target user after the upgrade) in the PNR; issuing an EMD ticket to record the cost details and usage of the upgrade service in electronic form; and deleting the low-cabin segment (the class of the target user before the upgrade) so that the low-cabin segment can be rebooked or purchased.

[0070] Optionally, after generating the upgrade result and returning the upgrade result to the user terminal, the method further includes: when the upgrade result indicates that the target user has failed to be upgraded, unfreezing the frozen target upgrade coupon; or, when the upgrade result indicates that the target user has been successfully upgraded, recovering the frozen target upgrade coupon.

[0071] It should be noted that since the upgrade coupon is in a frozen state when the upgrade process is executed, the upgrade coupon needs to be processed according to the upgrade result after the upgrade is completed. If the upgrade is successful, the target upgrade coupon of the target user is recovered and written off to avoid repeated use of the target upgrade coupon. If the upgrade is unsuccessful, the freeze on the target upgrade coupon is cancelled so that the user can use the upgrade coupon for upgrade again.

[0072] Through the above steps, an upgrade request from the user end is received, a target upgrade coupon selected by the target user is obtained based on the upgrade request, and the flight identifier of the target flight to be upgraded by the target user is determined, wherein the upgrade based on the target upgrade coupon is not restricted by the state of whether the flight is initialized, the state information, upgrade limit data and upgrade record of the target flight are obtained based on the flight identifier, and the cabin data of the target flight is queried based on the state information, and then the target cabin to be upgraded by the target user is determined based on the target upgrade coupon, and the remaining number of seats in the target cabin is extracted from the cabin data, the upgrade limit data of the target cabin is extracted from the upgrade limit data of the target flight, and the upgrade record of the target cabin is extracted from the upgrade record of the target flight, and finally, the target user is upgraded based on the remaining number of seats in the target cabin, the upgrade limit data and the upgrade record, an upgrade result is generated, and the upgrade result is returned to the user end.

[0073] In this embodiment, flight upgrades are processed through upgrade coupons. When users upgrade, they can use the pre-purchased upgrade coupons to deduct the cost. The upgrade coupon deduction is not restricted by the flight status, and the upgrade can be performed at any time point, thereby achieving the technical effect of flexible upgrades and improving the efficiency of upgrade processing, thereby solving the technical problem in related technologies that users can only choose to upgrade their tickets at specific time points and have low upgrade flexibility.

[0074] Another optional specific implementation is described in detail below.

[0075] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an optional ticket upgrade system based on upgrade coupons according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the ticket upgrade system based on the upgrade voucher specifically includes: an upgrade voucher configuration module, a cabin data query module, an upgrade voucher upgrade quota control module and an upgrade module. Specifically,

[0076] The upgrade voucher configuration module is used to configure the upgrade price according to personalized rules.

[0077] The upgrade voucher configuration module can configure the sales rules, usage rules, inventory, etc. of the upgrade vouchers. Upgrade vouchers with different prices can be configured for different flight departure times, different cabins before and after the upgrade, etc. Different prices can be set through different configurations of upgrade vouchers to achieve a more granular upgrade price setting plan. The supported dimensions may include: upgrade voucher usage channel, passenger type (self, transferee, or unlimited), passenger class, passenger type, passenger age, flight type, flight departure and arrival dates, applicable routes, applicable flight number, cabin before upgrade, cabin after upgrade, flight departure time, price of the flight segment before upgrade, and time limit for upgrade processing.

[0078] Different upgrade prices can be configured through the above dimensions to achieve the purpose of differentiated upgrade sales.

[0079] The cabin data query module is used to select different cabin data query logics according to the current status of the flight to be upgraded.

[0080] Figure 3 is a workflow diagram of an optional upgrade data query module according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, before upgrading, it is necessary to determine whether the target cabin meets the upgrade conditions based on the cabin data. Due to different flight statuses, the data query path is also different. The specific workflow of the upgrade data query module includes:

[0081] Step 1: Enter the upgrade inquiry process;

[0082] Step 2: Determine whether the flight is initialized;

[0083] Step 3: If the target flight is in an uninitialized state, query the number of remaining seats in each class of the flight through the reservation system; if the target flight is in an initialized state, query the number of remaining seats in each class of the flight through the reservation system and the departure system respectively, and count the minimum number of remaining seats in each class to obtain the final number of remaining seats in each class;

[0084] Step 4: query the cabin class corresponding to the target upgrade cabin space according to the configuration;

[0085] Step 5: determine whether there are any remaining seats in the target cabin. If yes, proceed to step 6; if no, proceed to step 7.

[0086] Step 6: Return the upgrade query results;

[0087] Step 7: Return error information.

[0088] The upgrade voucher upgrade quota control module is used to control the quota of upgrades in the same cabin class on the same flight using upgrade vouchers.

[0089] Figure 4is a flowchart of an optional upgrade ticket upgrade quota control module according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the workflow of the upgrade voucher upgrade quota control module includes:

[0090] Step 1: Configure quota control rules, such as configuring the upgrade limit data for upgrading using upgrade coupons by route, flight number, cabin class, travel date, etc.

[0091] Step 2: Record the use of the upgrade voucher;

[0092] Step 3: Control the upgrade quota according to the upgrade limit data and upgrade voucher usage records of the quota control rules. If the number of used orders is less than the upgrade limit data, continue to upgrade. If the number of used orders is approximately equal to the upgrade limit data, an error message is returned.

[0093] The upgrade module is used to book a higher cabin and delete the lower cabin to achieve an upgrade.

[0094] Figure 5 is a workflow diagram of an optional cabin upgrade module according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the workflow of the upgrade module specifically includes:

[0095] Step 1: Receive an upgrade request;

[0096] Step 2: Freeze the selected upgrade voucher;

[0097] Step 3: Write the target cabin class to be upgraded in the PNR;

[0098] Step 4: Perform the upgrade process and determine whether the upgrade is successful. If not, proceed to step 5. If yes, proceed to step 6.

[0099] Step 5: Return the upgrade failure result and cancel the frozen upgrade voucher;

[0100] Step 6: Call the Ebui ld interface to write the ASVC item and reserve additional service products;

[0101] Step 7: call Ebuild interface EMD to issue ticket;

[0102] Step 8, delete the original low cabin in FNR;

[0103] Step nine: Cancel the upgrade voucher.

[0104] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below by way of examples.

[0105] For example, you can configure the following upgrade vouchers through the upgrade voucher configuration module:

[0106] Table 1 An exemplary upgrade voucher

[0107]

[0108] Airlines configure coupons of different prices according to different dimensions, and users can purchase them according to their needs. Assume that the target user purchases four tickets, namely:

[0109] Itinerary 1: City A - City C, take off at 2023.11.12 14:00, Class Y;

[0110] Itinerary 2: City A-City D, take off at 07:00 on November 12, 2023, cabin Y;

[0111] Itinerary 3: City A - City E, take off at 2023.11.12 14:00, Class Y;

[0112] Itinerary 4: City A-City E, take off at 2023.11.12 14:00, V cabin;

[0113] The remaining seats of a flight in the reservation system are queried through the cabin data query module, and the results are as follows:

[0114] Table 2 The number of remaining seats obtained through the reservation system

[0115]

[0116]

[0117] The departure system found the remaining seats for the flight as follows:

[0118] Table 3 Remaining seats obtained through the departure system

[0119] Cabin Class Number of seats remaining Y 3 J 0

[0120] The upgrade class for the target user is Class J. When the user inquires about the upgrade before the flight is initialized, the reservation system shows that there are remaining seats in Class J, and the system can return the upgrade query result. When the user inquires about the upgrade after the flight is initialized, because the reservation query shows that there are still 2 seats, but the departure query shows that there are only 0 seats, the system determines that there are no remaining seats in Class J and returns no available seats.

[0121] Assume that the upgrade voucher upgrade quota rules are configured through the upgrade voucher upgrade quota control module as follows:

[0122] Table 4 Rules for the quota of cabin upgrade vouchers

[0123] Rule Number route Flight number Cabin Flight date Upgrade quota 1 A 1234 YJ 2023.12.01-2023.12.21 2 2 A 1345 YJ 2023.12.22-2023.12.31 3 3 B 1456 MJ 2023.12.01-2023.12.21 1 4 B 1567 YJ 2023.12.01-2023.12.21 2

[0124] Now there is a passenger A who has purchased a ticket for route A, class Y, departing on 2023, 12.03, flight number 1234. He successfully upgraded his class using the upgrade voucher, and a new successful upgrade record will be added:

[0125] Table 5 Successful upgrade record 1

[0126] Upgrade Orders route Flight number Cabin Travel Date state 1 A 1234 Y 2023,12.03 Upgrade successful

[0127] Passenger B has purchased a ticket for route A, class Y, departing on December 3, 2023, flight number 1234, and uses an upgrade voucher to upgrade. The system first checks whether there is a quota limit for the flight. The query finds that it meets rule 1, which is limited to 2 passengers. Then the system checks the successful upgrade records. A passenger on the same flight has been successfully upgraded. If 1<2, it meets the upgrade quota limit. After the upgrade is successful, a record will be added:

[0128] Table 6 Successful upgrade record 2

[0129] Upgrade Orders route Flight number Cabin Travel Date state 1 A 1234 Y 2023,12.03 Upgrade successful 2 A 1234 Y 2023,12.03 Upgrade successful

[0130] Passenger C has purchased a ticket for route A, class Y, departing on December 3, 2023, flight number 1234. He uses the upgrade voucher to upgrade. Due to matching rule 1, the limit is 2 people. There are already 2 people in the successful upgrade record, which does not meet the upgrade limit, and the system returns an error message.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present invention, the strategy of using upgrade coupons for upgrades is to sell upgrade coupons in advance. When upgrading, passengers directly select the upgrade coupons bound to their accounts for deduction. The upgrade coupons sold in advance can be sold at different prices according to the applicable flights and the different conditions of the passengers. During use, the number of upgrades on the same flight can also be controlled. It can not only achieve differentiated formulation of upgrade prices, but also effectively control the use of products to avoid overselling. When upgrading, it is determined whether the upgrade time is before or after the flight initialization, and different remaining seat judgment logics are selected. The user's upgrade is not restricted by time nodes, which improves the efficiency and flexibility of upgrade processing.
