Flights.com

Description of the data:

Website used: http://www.flights.com

Flights.com is a website that allows users to book flights, hotels, cars, cruises, hostels, European rails, and insurance (for trips) across the world. Even though it serves many purposes for customers, I would like to use this website only to acquire statistics about flights data. I would like to compare the flights’ data released on a time period of one month (from November 12, to December 12th). Different departure and destination airports will be chosen randomly, to acquire the data. Data such as: how many airlines offer services from the departing airport, and at the arrival airport, will be acquired. If some airlines offer more than one flight per day, this would be recorded as well). Then, prices will be compared for each airline’s service.

Why is this data interesting?

Travelling has become a part of everyone’s lives within the past few years, due to globalization and industrialization. Many times, people book flights with airlines that do not offer the best service. Yet, they are ending up paying way more than they are supposed to. It is hope that after analyzing this data, prevention for customers to pay extra money will start taking place.

How can we obtain the information?

Information can be obtained through the given website (http://www.flights.com). On the webpage, there is a tab that says “Flights.”This will scroll down through the page, in order for the user to reach the search box for the flights. This search box allows the user to modify the search for flights. In order to modify the search, the user will enter the data asked in the appropriate field.

What questions can this data answer?

· Which airline offers better service and is still cheaper than others?

· What makes one airline better than another?

After acquiring the information online, this is how the data will be analyzed:

Date departure Arrival airline price Travelling time # of flights/day
