The present invention is a method and system for pricing and reserving
charter aircraft. In a preferred embodiment, itinerary information is
received, via computer, from a user and is compared with information
contained in maintained databases to identify charter aircraft suitable
for accommodating the user. The system then determines a charter price by
calculating total charter prices for each of the suitable charter
aircraft. Several factors including flight costs, relocation costs,
repositioning costs and layover costs are considered in calculating the
total charter prices. Finally, the total charter prices are preferably
selectively categorized and transmitted, via computer, to the user who is
then able to complete the reservation process. In another preferred
embodiment, lowest charter prices are transmitted to the user for
alternative charter aircraft travel. In another preferred embodiment,
users can engage in either a reverse auction or a real-time auction for
available charter aircraft travel.
