Abstract

An apparatus, method and program (20, 30) for determining the price of an option (S10) to purchase an airline ticket, and for facilitating the sale (S12) and exercise of those options. By purchasing an option, a customer can lock in a specified airfare without tying up his money and without risking the loss of the ticket price if his travel plans change. Pricing of the options may be based on departure location criteria, destination location criteria, and travel criteria.
