Abstract

PURPOSE:To retrieve the passenger information on unoccupied seats by storing the name, etc. of a user into a file in response to the seat information when a ticket is issued and supplying the seat information read out each appointed ticket into said file when the seat is occupied. CONSTITUTION:A central processor 1 allocates a seat number 204 when a ticket issue request 103 is supplied and stores a passenger number 201 as the seat data 22 in response to the corresponding seat. Then a ticket issue flag is change to ''1'' from ''0''. A ticket 7 is inserted to a ticket reader 5 in a check-in mode to perform the check-in procedure. Thus the processor 1 decides that a check-in flag 203 of the number 204 is already checked and changes the flag to ''1'' from ''0''. The data 22 is searched at the departure time point of the corresponding flight to detect the number 201 of the number 204 where a ticket issue flag 202 is set at ''1'' with the flag 203 set ''0'' respectively.
