Abstract

Systems and techniques for providing solutions to a travel query are described. A travel query specifying a range of one or more parameter of a desired trip for a user is received. Using the query, a search is performed on a cache database that stores cached travel options for travel planning, and a first set of cache travel options satisfying the travel query is selected. From the first set, a second set of cache travel options corresponding to flights for which no seats are available are discarded. Those pricing solutions corresponding to remaining cache travel options of the first set are presented to the user for purchase.
