Although more web sites are available for compare the prices of the airlines available, there are some drawbacks of those web sites. Some are inefficient due to the use of databases of those airline companies, and they are not time effective and consumes much time of users thus make them inconvenient. Some web sites display the prices of the flights with the including of a profit rate for them. Therefore the users are unable to get the real price of the flight. This proposed system is time efficient and provide the real time results to the users as it has developed in web mining technology.
