The PCTravel system automatically displays the lowest available fare along with the desired flight schedule based upon the traveler's instructions. Online travelers no longer search multiple screens for flight schedules and fare information. PCTravel has also negotiated special airfare discounts in many U.S. markets that are lower than those obtainable from any other source. PCTravel automatically displays these unadvertised discounts to the traveler. No special software is required for connection to PCTravel.
Travelers simply access the system through the Internet or by modem.
Tickets purchased through PCTravel are delivered by next day overnight service free within the U.S. and at nominal charge elsewhere. The new Web version of PCTravel features automatic encryption for entering profile information and login authorization. Users of any browser can chose to have their profile information automatically secured when entering data to PCTravel. PCTravel is accessible from any of the commercial online services providing Web access by connection to the above addresses. The licensee would have an individual Home Page on the World Wide Web for travelers to make air reservations and purchase tickets.
