 ABSTRACT

People who frequently travel through flight will have better knowledge on best discount and
right time to buy the ticket. For the business purpose many airline companies change prices
according to the seasons or time duration. They will increase the price when people travel
more. Estimating the highest prices of the airlines data for the route is collected with features
such as Duration, Source, Destination, Arrival, Departure. Features are taken from chosen
dataset and in this paper, we have used machine learning techniques and regression strategies
for prediction of the price wherein the airline price ticket costs vary overtime. We have
implemented flight price prediction for users by using decision tree and random forest
algorithms. Decision tree shows the best accuracy of 80% for predicting the flight price. Also,
we have done correlation tests and ANOVA test for the statistical analysis.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Introduction

Perfect time for purchasing plane ticket by the passenger’s view is difficult since passengers
get very less information of future business price rates. Different models figure out future
business price on plane and categorise the best time to obtain flight ticket. Airlines use
different strategies of pricing for their tickets, later taking the decision on price because order
shows higher value for the approximation models. The causes behind the difficult system is
each Planes has limited number of seats to be filed, so airlines must regulate demand.
Suppose when demand is expected to increase capacity, the airline may increase prices, to
decrease the rate at which seats fill. Also, seating arrangements in flight which is not
occupied shows the loss of the amount invested for the business airline companies and
making them purchase the ticket to fill the seats for any price this would be the best idea to
get profit in loss too. Passengers should be compatible with the airline companies to get
adjusted for the increase and decrease of the price. Passengers or customers should make
their own planning to get the best offers available on different airlines and travel through less
price. Planes ticket prices changes as time passes, pulling out the elements which creates the
difference. Reporting the correlated and models which is used to price the flight tickets.
Then, using that information, building the model which helps passengers to make pull out the
ticket to buy and predicting air ticket prices which progresses in the future. Duration, Arrival
time, Price, Source, Destination and much more these are the attribute used for flight price
prediction

1.2 Objective of the Project

In conceptual level, there are two subtasks for selecting features and taking decision about
feature combination. Execution of Building the model through Random Forest, decision tree
and test the results of continuous as well as categorical data. Removing the elements which
are of not required, duplicate and redundant information from the data collected. Limiting the
caused error and through classification results we are increasing the accuracy. Choosing the
subdivision of suitable attribute from the whole dataset. Performing statistical analysis
through various test as ANOVA, Correlation and Chi-Square test.

1.4 Proposed System

Through Regression Analysis the visualization and forecasting are performed for the
presented model. Blending of technologies, processing is called Conceptually the
Intelligence, that is cloud computing, machine learning and virtualization etc. ML is in trend
to build our skills and it is one of the highest growth field in computer science and health
care informatics. As the time passes by the algorithm should be learnt is the main goal in
Machine. Also, used for predicting algorithm that makes the communication with agent and
makes easier for learning. In this paper, random forest and decision tree algorithms is to find
solutions for flight price problems in machine learning tasks and a hybrid method is
formulated from Chi square, anova and Correlation tests is performed. The data collecting is
performed followed by data pre-processing. Before data modelling is done, data must be split
into train and test dataset to ignore the data leakage. Based on the various attributes in the
dataset for example departure and arrival features play the important role for predicting the
price. Running the random forest and decision tree models, grouping the maximum price of
airlines. Next performing the feature engineering and calculating the accuracy.
