Abstract:
A method for simulating the development over time of bookings situations for flights. It is proposed that a first number of hard parameters which include at least one flight schedule between at least two departure and arrival points, and a second number of soft parameters which include at least one fare for a flight between the at least two departure and arrival points, are provided, as well as a virtual environment which constitutes a representation of a real environment in which virtual passengers book flights under conditions defined in each case by the parameters. The pattern over time of the totality of all bookings is recorded and can be displayed on a display device and wherein a user influences the respective bookings situations by prior adjustment of at least one of the soft parameters.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for simulating the development over time of flight bookings situations for training purposes, comprising the steps of:\n providing a first number of hard parameters, which are not readily modifiable, but only by an administrator, the hard parameters comprising at least one schedule for a flight between at least a departure point and an arrival point; providing a second number of soft parameters, the soft parameters comprising at least one fare for the flight between the departure point and the arrival point; providing a virtual booking environment which constitutes a representation or model of a real booking environment, and in which virtual passengers book flights under the conditions defined in each case by the hard parameters and the soft parameters; independently receiving inputs comprising at least one of the soft parameters from at least two different users, the two different users using two different and physically separate user interfaces; wherein different permissions are defined for different users for modifying parameters and/or different parameter areas within which the actions can move such that each of the two users represents a different airline company; recording, using the inputs from the at least two different users, a pattern over time of the totality of all bookings; displaying, on a display device, the pattern over time of the totality of bookings; calculating a profit to be expected on the basis of the respective current simulated bookings situation for at least the flight between the departure point and the arrival point; and outputting the profit to be expected.
