The Airline Ticket Reservation System project was created as a practical exercise to deepen my understanding of full-stack development and improve my skills in building a complex web application. This system is designed to streamline the booking process, providing a simulated experience of an airline reservation platform while emphasizing a user-centered approach.
- Create and manage accounts
- Search for available flights between city pairs
- Book tickets in their preferred class
- Cancel previously booked tickets
- View ticket booking history
- Add, modify and delete flight schedules
- Activate or deactivate jet details
- View detailed booking statistics
- A frequent flier miles system is integrated to reward loyal customers with additional benefits.
One of the primary challenges in this project was establishing a reliable and efficient connection with the database. Key issues included:
- Handling Large Volumes of Data: Managing high volumes of flight and booking data efficiently required careful query optimization to ensure quick response times.
- Maintaining Data Integrity: Ensuring that data remained consistent across various operations, such as booking, cancellation, and updating flight schedules, posed challenges, particularly with concurrent user interactions.
If I were to further develop this project, I would implement the following features:
- Allow ticket purchase without requiring login, enabling a faster booking process for casual users.
- Integrate seat selection functionality on the website, giving users the freedom to choose their preferred seat at the time of booking.
- Front-end: HTML, CSS, SCSS
- Back-end: PHP
- Database: MySQL
The Airline Ticket Reservation System efficiently combines customer and administrator functionalities into a single platform, enhancing the overall experience of booking flights online. By leveraging key web technologies, the system offers a responsive, reliable, and user-friendly solution.
