To the extent that business models are patentable, maybe so? We're 25+ years into online travel, and nobody has implemented it. Maybe it's one of those things that looks simple but isn't? For technical difficulty, it's certainly no less difficult than storing credit card details for reuse, and that passed muster at the PTO. All that said, I am excited to see what's (hopefully?) coming. A travel site should be able to intuit what kind of trip I'm planning, or ask me if it's not obvious. If I do a search for a city that I fly to every other week, perhaps it's okay to just go ahead and sort to the top the same flights and hotel I used last time. If the flight is in the summer and to a popular vacation area, perhaps guess that my family will also be traveling. These things have all been technically possible for decades, but we don't see them in the wild. Maybe they are less obvious or more difficult than they appear from the outside (I have never built a travel agent).
