PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively and efficiently sell inventories to both a user and a seller while taking into consideration the number of the inventories of an approach route and a return rout between candidate places, in a setup of airline ticket selling in which a system extracts a candidate place and decides a final destination.SOLUTION: An airline ticket selling program makes a computer perform: condition input processing for accepting an input of a condition except for information of a destination airport from a user via an information processing terminal; airport decision processing for acquiring information of an approach route candidate flight and a return route candidate flight which coincide with the condition out of inventory information of airline flights, and extracts a prescribed number as a candidate airport from numbers which are common in an arrival airport of the approach route candidate flight and a departure airport of the return route candidate flight; and flight decision processing for selecting one of an approach/return candidate flights which are obtained by combining the approach candidate flight and the return route candidate flight between the departure airport of an approach route and each candidate airport on the basis of a prescribed reference, and setting the selected approach/return candidate flight as a selling objective approach/return flight.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】候補地の抽出および最終的な行き先の決定をシステムが行う航空券販売の仕組みにおいて、各候補地との間の往路と復路の在庫数を考慮した上で、ユーザ、販売者双方にとって効果的・効率的な在庫の販売を可能とする。【解決手段】航空券販売プログラムは、情報処理端末を介したユーザからの行き先空港の情報を除いた条件の入力を受け付ける条件入力処理と、前記条件に合致する往路候補便と復路候補便の情報を航空便の在庫情報から取得し、前記往路候補便の到着空港と前記復路候補便の出発空港とで共通するものから所定の数を候補空港として抽出する空港決定処理と、前記条件で指定された往路の出発空港と前記各候補空港との間での前記往路候補便と前記復路候補便とを組み合わせた往復候補便の中から所定の基準に基づいて１つを選択して、これを販売対象往復便とする便決定処理とをコンピュータに実行させる。【選択図】図６
