When customers book the same airline again, they just have to login their member ID and password to retrieve their own record which can minimize the re-entry procedure.

By checking the record of the customers, it can enhance the efficiently of the staff. In additional, airline can offer hotel packages or car rental by cross-selling, up-selling and product bundling.

Customer can earn the flyer miles after they finished the trip, they can exchange gifts, coupon, get discount or free air ticket, upgrade their class from economy to business etc. This is one of the selling point to retain customer.
