Block seat inventory

Block seat management, seat by seat.

Every seat in a block has a state: free, held, sold, ticketed, cancelled. Blocks Master keeps that state live for every flight you hold, so your team, your agencies and your partners all see the same seats — and nobody sells one twice.

  • Hold now, issue later — holds expire and seats come back on their own
  • Waiting list for a full block
  • Name changes and cancellations priced by your own rules
  • Profit per flight, empty seats included

The block

Everything that happens to a seat, on one board.

Holds that expire on their own

An agent can hold seats for a client and issue later. Unpaid holds expire on schedule and the seats return to sale without anyone remembering to release them.

Tickets the moment it is paid

A confirmed booking issues a branded e-ticket with the IATA baggage allowance, passport or national ID details, and the agency’s own logo.

Waiting list

When a block is full, demand is not lost: a waiting list records it, and the demand you had to turn away is reported.

Name changes by your rule

Allow name changes up to the point you choose, at the fee you choose, per flight rather than per company.

Cancellations priced by policy

A fee ladder by hours before departure. The agent sees the exact fee and refund before confirming; the seats go back and the refund returns to the wallet that paid.

Manifests and duplicate catching

Passenger manifests per flight, and duplicate passengers caught before they become an airport problem.

Two clocks on every flight

Departure and arrival are kept in each airport’s own time zone, so a flight across zones shows the times the passenger will actually see.

Schedule-change alerts

When a time changes, the agencies and passengers affected are told, by email and WhatsApp where configured.

Profit per flight

Revenue against what the block cost you, counting the seats that never sold — the number that tells you whether to buy the block again.

Why it matters

A block is a commitment. Unsold seats are a loss.

When you buy a block of seats on a charter or a scheduled flight, you pay for those seats whether you sell them or not. Block seat management is about two things: selling as many as possible before departure, and never selling the same seat twice in the rush.

Blocks Master gives every seller the same live count, closes the flight at departure or at your sales cut-off, and shows you — per flight — what is still unsold, what sold, and what it earned.

Questions

Managing seat blocks, answered.

What is a block seat?

A seat bought in advance as part of a group of seats — a block — on a flight, usually by a tour operator, consolidator or travel agency, at a net price, to resell before departure.

Can I manage blocks on scheduled flights as well as charters?

Yes. A block is a block: you load the flight, the seats you hold and your prices, whether the aircraft is chartered or a scheduled service.

Can I put a sales cut-off before departure?

Yes. A flight always stops selling at departure, and you can close sales earlier, including per partner when you share a block.

Can I see what is unsold across all my flights?

Yes. The inventory board shows what is still unsold at a glance, and the profit report counts empty seats against the block cost.
