End-to-End Technical Workflow

Search to confirmed booking: real-time availability fetching, dynamic pricing, itinerary building, payment processing, and booking confirmation.

01

Availability Search

User search triggers parallel API calls to GDS (Amadeus/Sabre) and hotel aggregators for real-time inventory.

Input: Search Parameters
Output: Live Availability Results
02

Dynamic Pricing

Pricing engine applies demand-based markup, loyalty discounts, and promo codes to display personalised prices.

Input: Base Price + User Profile
Output: Personalised Price
03

Itinerary Builder

Customers combine flights, hotels, and experiences into a custom itinerary with day-by-day scheduling.

Input: Selected Components
Output: Custom Itinerary
04

Booking & Confirmation

Stripe processes payment and tickets/vouchers are issued via GDS, with confirmation email and PDF itinerary.

Input: Payment Details
Output: Confirmed Booking + PDF

Parallel GDS API Calls

Promise.all fan-out queries multiple GDS and hotel APIs simultaneously with a 3-second timeout, merging results for fastest display.

Price Cache with TTL

Redis caches availability and price results with a 5-minute TTL, serving instant results for popular routes while avoiding API cost overruns.

Distributed Saga Pattern

Multi-step booking (flight + hotel + payment) uses the Saga pattern with compensating transactions to roll back partial bookings on failure.
