The Bon Voyage travel assistant helps you retrieve details of your flights quickly by providing just the flight number and travel date. It provides details like the number of stops, arrival and departure airports, terminals and time information. It also gives carrier contact information. If your flight is in the next few days, the weather prediction is also provided, so that you can make your travel arrangements accordingly.

Technical details:
The jsp form sends user input to a FlightInfoServlet. This servlet invokes functions to call external webservices for flight information and weather information when necessary. The obtained information is populated in a session variable and passed to another page which displays the results to the user. This can be easily extended to provide additional functionality.
