I want to develop an automation application that will run on a web server and every 5-10 minutes, will query the airline website to reserve tickets using frequent flyer mileage awards.
During busy travel times during the year (like between the Christmas and New Year's Holidays) this Airline doesn't immediately offer award seats. Instead, they parcel them out during the year. This could happen on any day and at any time. Rather than keep checking my computer, I want the application to do that automatically and I want to be notified if a seat becomes available, and I want the app to reserve it.
I would like to see if I can run the app on a web server that is always on, and if the program crashes, it will automatically restart.
## Deliverables
I have suggested both a web server and desktop application. I simply want this program to be able to run on a computer that is always on. The actual inputs are relatively simple. They can be input on a single web page or single page of a desktop application.
Inputs required are:
Departure Airport
Destination Airport 1
Destination Airport 2
Departure Month
Departure Day
Departure Time
Award Type:?
Passenger Name 1
Passenger Name 2
Passenger Name 3
Passenger Name 4
Passenger Name 5
Passenger Name 6
