Abstract

Various embodiments each include at least one of systems, devices, methods, and software for automated booking systems and methods. One method embodiment includes identifying a need for an individual to travel to a destination location of a scheduled event based on at least one calendar entry stored in data of a calendaring system and identifying an origin location and origin and destination airports located in proximity to the origin and destination locations, respectively. The method may then retrieve ground transportation mode options and travel time data from one or more ground transportation routing services for travel from the origin location to the origin airport and from the destination airport to the destination location. The method may then identify flight itinerary options from the origin airport to the destination airport that arrive by a time no later than a start time of the scheduled event less a travel time from the destination airport to the destination location. Next, the method selects and procures a flight itinerary that departs no earlier than an end of an immediately prior scheduled event and no later than a time of the scheduled event less a total time of travel including the selected flight itinerary. Some embodiments may further generate and transmit a message to a messaging account of the individual including at least information about the procured flight itinerary.
