Abstract

Techniques for producing a travel solution comprised of multiple travel units are disclosed. The techniques include sending a travel planning query having a partition specification to a travel planning system. The travel planning system processes the travel query to produce solutions based on partitions. Possible partitions can include passenger name records (PNRs), tickets or sales channels for the returned solutions. Processing can involve relaxing constraints, rules, or regulations on solutions and re-pricing solutions, as multiple tickets, by partitioning the solutions by a partition. Tickets can be produced for different portions of the multiple travel units from the travel solution using different selling methods or points of sale channels.
