Iron Core

This series is an incredible deep dive into the cryptic short codes that are behind flight bookings and how the systems behind the curtain work all the way until the passenger reaches the destination. I’ve read them all the way through yesterday and I’ll likely read through them again today. I already checked on the entries on my old flight tickets and some example booking on the Matrix Airfare Search and this is exactly the kind of look into big complicated systems that is extremely interesting to me.My only (minor) complaint would be that I’d have liked more links to the sources for a more detailed deep-dive but it’s already quite something. Yesterday I already linked to the second article in the series, (actually before noticing it is part of a series) after I found it via Bruce Lawson’s reading list. Reply by email
