Pre-event triggers for travel management systems

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a travel application, from a database, an electronic itinerary for a traveler, the electronic itinerary comprising a plurality of events;

identifying, by the travel application, based on the electronic itinerary, an event of the plurality of events;

determining, by the travel application, a pre-event trigger for the event, the pre-event trigger for the event comprising a service request and a service provider;

identifying an event manager application associated with the event as the service provider, the event manager application associated with an event manager instantiated on one or more servers;

calculating, by the travel application, a trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event, based on the service request;

monitoring, by the travel application, for an occurrence of the trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event; and

responsive to detecting the occurrence of the trigger time, transmitting, at the trigger time, the pre-event trigger to the event manager application for execution of the service request corresponding to the event.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, to a computing device of the traveler, a ranked listing of available events, wherein the available events are ranked based on a history of usage by a plurality of travelers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event comprises:

determining an event time for the event; and

calculating a lead time prior to the event time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event manager comprises at least one of an airline reservation system, a ground transportation reservation system, or an accommodation reservation system.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a check-in request for the event to the event manager.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating, based on a departure time of a flight event, a security check-in time for the flight event.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

estimating a travel time from a current traveler location to an airport location for the event; and

transmitting, based on the travel time, a first ground transportation request to a ground transportation manager.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting, based on an arrival time of the event, a second ground transportation request to the ground transportation manager; and

transmitting, based on the arrival time of the event, a check-in request to an accommodation event manager.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions encoded thereon for managing a travel itinerary, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a travel application, from a database, an electronic itinerary for a traveler, the electronic itinerary comprising a plurality of events;

identifying, by the travel application, based on the electronic itinerary, an event of the plurality of events;

determining, by the travel application, a pre-event trigger for the event, the pre-event trigger for the event comprising a service request and a service provider;

identifying an event manager application associated with the event as the service provider, the event manager application associated with an event manager instantiated on one or more servers;

calculating, by the travel application, a trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event, based on the service request;

monitoring, by the travel application, for an occurrence of the trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event; and

responsive to detecting the occurrence of the trigger time, transmitting, at the trigger time, the pre-event trigger to the event manager application for execution of the service request corresponding to the event.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the event comprises at least one of a flight, a ground transportation ride, or an accommodation.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein calculating the trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event comprises:

determining an event time for the event; and

calculating a lead time prior to the event time.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the event manager comprises at least one of an airline reservation system, a ground transportation reservation system, or an accommodation reservation system.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , the operations further comprising transmitting a check-in request for the event to a flight event manager application.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , the operations further comprising calculating, based on a departure time of a flight event, a security check-in time for the flight event.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

estimating a travel time from a current traveler location to an airport location for the event; and

transmitting, based on the travel time, a first ground transportation request to a ground transportation manager.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:

transmitting, based on an arrival time of the event, a second ground transportation request to the ground transportation manager; and

transmitting, based on the arrival time of the event, a check-in request to an accommodation event manager.

17. A system for managing a travel itinerary, the system comprising one or more processors configured to execute instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a travel application, from a database, an electronic itinerary for a traveler, the electronic itinerary comprising a plurality of events;

identifying, by the travel application, based on the electronic itinerary, an event of the plurality of events;

determining, by the travel application, a pre-event trigger for the event, the pre-event trigger for the event comprising a service request and a service provider;

identifying an event manager application associated with the event as the service provider, the event manager application associated with an event manager instantiated on one or more servers;

calculating, by the travel application, a trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event, based on the service request;

monitoring, by the travel application, for an occurrence of the trigger time to send the pre-event trigger to the event manager application associated with the event; and

responsive to detecting the occurrence of the trigger time, transmitting, at the trigger time, the pre-event trigger to the event manager application for execution of the service request corresponding to the event.

18. The system of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:

calculating, based on a departure time of a flight event, a security check-in time for the flight event.

19. The system of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:

estimating a travel time from a current traveler location to an airport location for the event; and

transmitting, based on the travel time, a first ground transportation request to a ground transportation manager.

20. The system of claim 19 , the operations further comprising:

transmitting, based on an arrival time of the event, a second ground transportation request to the ground transportation manager; and

transmitting, based on the arrival time of the event, a check-in request to an accommodation event manager.
