2 Abstract As airplane has become an indispensable traveling tool today, people tend to be more interested in select plane as their first choose when going a long trip. As Jarvenpaa. and Todd. (1996) pointing out, People's shopping behavior has greatly changed by the advent of network. It seems traditional ticket booking methods are lag behind the time. Another intuitive and simple way of ticket booking is strongly needed by the customers' demand. We have designed a friendly and intuitive website which provides all the information regarding the airplane ticket. Customers could select the ticket which he really wants by comparing the information of various kinds of tickets through using our website. Introduction With the rapid development of living standards, air-travel has become increasingly important in people s daily life. Due to the great benefits (such as the fastest speed and comfortable experiences) the airplanes provide, more and more people choose airplanes as their first choice. This rapidly growing market in return stimulates the aviation and its peripheral industry. Today aircraft companies improve their services not only in providing the travelers with the most comfortable travel experience in the sky, but also at the very beginning such as booking your first ticket. Though the companies have built up as many ways (such as the official website, vending points and booking through phones) as they can to provide its customers with the most convenient and quickest way to get tickets, the price of the tickets are fixed. For the same journey, customers cannot compare the ticket price of one company to another. Also, the time and the type of planes are other factors which cannot be compared, either. In order to meet the demand of customers and reasonably manage the resources, a model of the ticket booking system has been developed. Though this website, it is not

3 mature and ideal as defined by Guha (2009) who claims in his paper that the web which is a combination of a semantic and various services which can be automatically implemented is ideal. Our website can somehow truly help the customers in finding tickets. This ticket booking website collects all the ticket information of all the major aircraft company. On the one hand, users could select suitable tickets which meet their demands by comparing the tickets among companies. On the other hand, our system provides suggestions regarding the hottest airlines and the cheapest special airfares. The goal of design such a ticket booking website is to use what we have learned of HCI in practice and provide customers as more information as possible to let them choose what really they want. Definition of problem We will consider a regarding the online air-tickets booking system. With the development of the Internet, transaction service online provide people with the unprecedented convenience, with help of which people, who are willing to travel around, could book air-tickets through the Internet whether using PC or other mobile devices. The following are the functions will be contained in this system: 1. User Login & registration. 2. Flight searching: used to search the leaving time and arriving time of one certain flight (e.g. vacations management, flight information, hotel). 3. Air-ticket searching: to check if the flight has enough tickets. 4. Check my booking: the customer can check their booking state. 5. Complaint and recommendation: receive the complaint and recommendation from customer. 6. Mass-texting and send the message to all passengers if the information of the flight is changed. 7. Group ticket booking: the travel agency can book the group ticket. 8. Back-stage management: the manager can control and manages the system through back-stage management section. 9. Price sorting function: the price can be sorted from cheapest price to high price.

4 Review of related work It has been pointed out by Li et al. (2001) that Traveling is a good example of a social activity, with social interaction taking place in many ways throughout the travel life cycle. People travel together with others: family or colleagues, but also all other people using the same means for transportation. Interaction with others also takes place when booking the trip: with the travel companions, with the sales agent, and with other people at the travel agency. As Shao et al. (2008) point out, today more and more people have been using the Internet where they can easily get the information they are interested in. For Bilotkach and Rupp (2011), obviously, people prefer booking tickets in advance than going to ticket agent to buy in office hours. People can book tickets first, and then decide to buy the tickets later. And people can pay by their credit cards through the Internet and even more they do not need to go to ticket selling agents. The tickets can be sent to people's home, or customers print their virtual tickets at home, or tickets are recorded in people's personal ID card. Therefore, now many online ticketing systems have been developed and used on the Internet. We want to develop another air-tickets booking system. The project aims to maintain and provide the information of social and cultural activities, provide online services of booking and selling tickets and to give passengers the information of cancel and delay services. Depending on existing systems, we design air-tickets booking system has following these: (1) Login and register: Users can book the tickets easier when they login to the system. (2) Search: Users can search for the information of events to be held. (3) Book: Customers can book the tickets which they select from the seat plan online. (4) Pay: Customers can pay their bookings by credit cards on line. (5) Issue: Ticket agents can issue tickets for the customers who have paid for tickets. (6) Provide-event: Provider can create new events in the web server. (7) Provide-ticket: Provider can create new tickets on an event. (8) Maintain-system: Provider is responsible for

5 maintaining system, such as deleting tickets (Rudstrom and Fagerberg, 2004). However, as indicated by Shon et al. (2003),these systems have several problems, such as if customers want to book more than one tickets as a group, these systems cannot search the cheaper tickets and if the flight is delayed or canceled, these systems cannot sent messages to passengers. Therefore, we design online air-tickets booking system including: (1) Check my booking: the customer can check their booking state. (2) Complaint and recommendation: receive the complaint and recommendation from customer. (3) Mass-texting and send the message to all passengers if the information of the flight is changed. (4) Group ticket booking: the travel agency can book the group ticket. (5) Price sorting function: the price can be sorted from cheapest price to high price. The main tasks of system software development include two parts; one is the database design and the other is the control software component in the server, which is responsible for data communication between database and clients. The system integrates software, hardware, and network communication techniques such as HTML, XML, JSP, ASP, Java, SQL, Oracle Database and so on. Analysis of users requirements The online air-tickets booking system is aimed at three classes of user. The first class of user is single person or couple who do not often go to travel by airplane, such as tourist. There is an example. The person whose name is John is 30-year-old and does not often goes to travel with his wife, because he does not have enough time and money to do this. If he wants to use this system, his main point is that the system could find cheap tickets, suitable time and beautiful place. At the same time, his journey could be arranged by this system. If he has other time to travel, he wants to go another place. There are some scenarios as follows: 1. John is the first time to use this system, and he does not have any idea where he can travel with his

6 wife. At the same time, there are some limitations. Firstly, John and his wife do not have much time and money to have a long journey, so he need find and plan a short journey. Secondly, John require book a hotel that discount but near or can easily to arrive to the beauty spot. Thirdly, he wants to know more about information of the beauty spot and the evaluation from other people. 2. John uses this system several times to search where he wants to go. He needs the system to show these places that he searched, when he log into the system again. He can easily find when the tickets are cheaper to go these places, and he can get cheapest tickets when he wants to finish his journey. 3. John has already used this system and gone to some place. In these places, John wants to travel again. But some places, he think just go there once. He needs the system to distinguish two parts of places. 4. John just wants search specific tickets from Birmingham to Paris at 22nd March and return at 8th April for visiting his friends. He need the flight time between 9 am. and 4 pm., and the tickets should be cheap. The second class of user is the person who often goes to journey by airplane. These people, such as businessman, they often need go on a business trip and sometimes the journey is improvised and need as quickly as possible. There is an example. The person whose name is Sum is a team leader in a software company that is located in Birmingham. He should also travel between two or more cities to communicate with his cooperative company. If he uses this system, his main point is that the system can show the tickets of place where he often goes, and sort to show the tickets as order of time or cost. There are some scenarios as follows: 1. Sum has a meeting in Pairs at 10:00 on Tuesday. He wants to find a plane that will arrive by 8:30 and return after 7:00. When he has selected the plane he needs to tell purchasing to buy it. And he needs a car parking to park his car. 2. Sum get a notification that needs him goes to Berlin to communicate with client. He needs the system to search the earliest plane to Berlin, but does not decide when he will return. 3. Sum has a meeting in Beijing. He wants to find a ticket that the airport is near or can easily to arrive to the company. 4. Sum should visit Pairs twice per moths. He needs the system to show when the ticket

7 is cheaper, when he logs into the system again. Another user class is the group class. These people, such as football-funs club or family trip, they often need go on trip as a group. There is an example. The person whose name is James has a family that includes his wife, two child and his parents. He wants to go a trip with his whole family. If he uses this system, his main point is that the system can show the cheapest and suitable tickets, and find elder and young people s suitable ticket. There are some scenarios as follows: 1. James is the first time to use this system. He is asked to add the family member s information into the system. He wants that the system can remember all the information he added. 2. James uses this system several times to search where he wants to go. He needs the system to show these places that he searched, when he log into the system again. He can easily find when the tickets are cheaper to go these places, and he can get cheapest tickets when he wants to finish his journey. 3. James has already used this system and gone to some place. He wants go other places with his family. He does not want to see the place he has already been there. Another example is that there is a football-fans club, such as Manchester United (Man Utd.) football-fans club. They often go to another city to see a football match, and they have a large number of fans. If the club wants buy tickets, their main point is that the system can shows the plan at the specific time. There are some scenarios as follows: 1. The club needs the system to remember the information that they added, so they can easily buy a group ticket for they members. 2. Man Utd. has a match in Madrid at 8:45 pm. on Tuesday. They want to find a plane that will arrive by 6:30 pm. and return after 12:00 pm.. And they need to book some car parking to park their cars. The older people belong to the special class of users. As this group of people often suffers from blurred eyesight, a magnifier is provided by the system. Further, they need provide a large size of fonts of button for the elderly in the system. There are some scenarios as follows: 1. The elder want to book an airplane ticket for one simple click. 2. Old people just want add their basic information (e.g. the place of departure,

8 the destination and the preferred time), and the system can store their information. 3. If the old people find it still complex for them to purchase ticket on line, all they need to do is to fill your ID and contact address in the text field with clicking a button. They will be contact by the staff timely. First generation prototypes In order to designing the first and second prototypes, we use the Demo Program. This program can easily design the web system. It include whole the panel which we want to use. Homepage Description and Evaluation On the homepage, we can clearly see that at the top of the page there are seven choices: HOME, SALE, Flight, Hotels, Car Hire, Travel Deals and Contact Us. The user can select these depend on what they need. If the user chooses Home, they will be link to the homepage. On the left of the page, we can see Quick Search part. What valuable in this prototype is that it contains not only the flight tickets, but also contains the hotels information, car hire information and travel deals. The user can glance over this information when they search flight tickets. To click SALE button, the page will skip to the page that showing the sale tickets. When they choose flight, the user can select which type of flight they need according to the conditions they input. To click Hotels button, the page will skip to the page that the user can search a number of hotels in different cities. To click Car-hire, the user can search cars on different agencies and rent cars they like. There are two parts on the right of this Homepage. One is the searching result, it will show the result correspond to the searching conditions. Another part is searching history, it will record the information that the user has searched before on the same computer. We have already asked some different crowd of users to look through this page prototype, almost all said that they

9 can understand this page and think it is easy to use. However, several users feel confused about some detail. For examples, at the top of the home page, the user can choose flight, car hire and travel deals. However, at the Quick Search part also contains these information. Besides, there is another bad thing is that the user may be confused about the name Group. What the function of Group, who can use it. Because of the simplicity, the homepage prototype is of learn ability. For the efficiency, if the user hopes to search something, they just need to input the condition and enter the searching button; the result will be showed for them. However, this web may be not of good memo ability because that there are not many special points of this page to attract the user. Figure 1. Home page of the system Travel Deals page Description: At the top of this page, there are five choices for the user. Home, Domestic, International, Hotel, and Car-hire. The page will skip to the homepage when the user clicks the Home button. To click the Domestic button, the page will skip to the

10 page that the user can book the domestic travel deals. To click the International button, the page will skip to the page that the user can book international travel deals. To click the Hotel, the user can book hotel on different cities. To click Car-hire, the user can search cars on different agencies and rent cars they like. On the top of the right hand of the page, the user can register a new membership by click the register now button. To click the About us button, the user can read more information about this system and the service. To click the Language system, the user can change for different languages. On the middle of this page, there are many beauty spot showing for the user. They can enjoy beautiful scenery of different places and look through different travel deals. On the bottom of this page, the user can search hotel and book the hotel they correspond to they need. There are three kinds of choose for the user, one person, family and user-defined. The user can input the their destination city, check-in day and number of person, type of hotel and then search the hotels accord with their conditions. Evaluation: Advantages: The function on this page prototype provides some useful function for the user. Such as domestic travel deals and international deals. And book domestic hotels and international hotels. The interface is simple and clear for the user to understand. On the analysis stage, we consider enough scenarios about travel deals. Such as looking through welcome travel deals, searching the travel deals correspond to the user s conditions and booking travel deals the user likes the best. On the design stage, we design this prototype according to the scenarios and also add some details. There are some drop-down boxes on the page, they are convenient for the user to look through the page. Disadvantages: It just design the register choose but no login choose for the user. Moreover, some box such as destination city box, check-in date box need the user to fill data are not signed as what type data need to type, like String, integer or date type.

There have a calendar for the user to select a date to leave and a table lists the information of each flight. At the bottom of this window, there has three buttons, compare, pay for it and close. When the user select a ticket the user can click compare button, and will enter compare window to compare with other flight. This is a useful function to the user to get the best ticket.

28 ticket, the user can click pay for it to enter the bank payment page. And if the user wants to cancel the transaction, the user can click close button to return the home page. Figure 11. The detail of the flight There are two function of this window (Figure 12.). One is compare the different price and flying time between two tickets. There are a combo box to select other flight and have a calendar to select a date, and the graphics will show the different price and flying time between the new flight that user have set in the combo box and the flight that user have select at flight list before. This function can give to user an intuitive way to the flight. The other one is show the price of the flight in different time by a line graph. This picture can show which time is the cheapest time and when is the best time to buy this ticket. When user finished compare, click close to back to flight detail window, and choose the best flight for the user.

29 Figure 12. The Compare window Through analysis the system working, the basic evaluation should be made. Firstly, we use the scenarios which we mentioned in the user classes analysis. Through the scenarios, we use the system and present whether the system can satisfied the users requirements. Secondly, we will use this system as a user and try it, when we have some special requirements. Throughout these two steeps, we can find some basic

30 problem in the system. And then we should let the evaluators use the Heuristic Evaluation to evaluate this system. We should focus on whether useable and hard problem in the system. The online air-tickets booking system is web system which will consider three classes of users that are signal user, group users and business user. Throughout the basic evaluation, we find this system has some advantages and disadvantages. The background and design of this system is very simple that users can clearly see what they want. The users can easily find the tickets which they want. The users can search the tickets which is suitable for the users, through the graphics and diagrams. The design is as easy as possible that can let the old people use it comfortable. From the basic the evaluation, the system design is correspond the visibility of system status, user control and freedom and flexibility & efficiency of use from the Heuristic Evaluation. However, the system has several disadvantages. For the Heuristic Evaluation, the system does not afford some error prevention, such as if the user input a wrong user name or password, what the system should do. In the real world, the user just want to use this system once, then they do not want register and their information store in the system. This system does not mention this problem, so it is not very matching between system & real world. In order to solving this problem, there are three recommendations. Firstly, the system should add more error hints that can let user know where they make mistakes. Secondly, the system should consider the user which just wants use once. The system can add a page that asks the user whether they want to delete their information, when they exit the system. Thirdly, the system should show how the booking page connects with the bank page. Summary In this paper, we have read some references about this system and collected many requirements from all walks of life. First, we defined the problem about this work and review the related works. We have analyzed the requirements of people when they

31 buy air tickets online, including searching tickets, choosing tickets, booking tickets and so on. And design personas and scenarios depend on these requirements. This personas and scenarios build a clear understanding of this air-ticket system. Also, we have designed the first prototype using these personas and scenarios. The first prototype design the homepage, searching page and booking page of this system.. It is clear for the user. However, there are still some fuzzy, such as the type of depart time on the searching web, and the line of cheapest air tickets offers. The second prototype make better than the first prototype. It makes the user clear about the type of the data they need to fill and make some progress base on the first prototype. What was good in our project is that it is clear for people to use the air-ticket system. Clear interface and simple for people to use. It concern about who are the users and what are they trying to do. It takes several kinds of crowd to use the system, so it will be very convenient for different group of users to buy tickets.
