works

system,

as

well

as

pushingout

information

to

the

GDS(Global

Distribution

System,

a

systemfor

searching,

reserving,

and

purchasing

products).

The

of

channelis

consumers

who

use

the

internet

ormobile

applications

to

make

their

own

reservations.Confirmation确认Passengers

may

call

in

to

confirm

their

ongoing

or

return

reservations.

Most

airlines,

especially

on

international

routes,

require

their

passengers

to

confirm

their

continuing

or

return

reservations.

That

is,

they

must

call

the

airline

to

check

the

reservation

and

indicate

whether

they

will

use

it.

This

protects

the

airline

against

no-shows,

and

it

protects

the

passenger

against

the

loss

of

his

seat.Cancellation取消In

many

cases,

there

is

an

automatic

cancellation

if

there

is

no

confirmation

(or

reconfirmation,

as

it

is

sometimes

called

)within

24

hours

of

fight

time.

International

reconfirmation

is

72

hours.

In

addition

to

checking

the

passenger’s

reservation,

the

agent

should

alsoobtain

a

telephone

contact

where

the

passenger

can

be

reached

so

thatthe

agent

can

inform

the

passenger
