React Flight Booking System
A React-based flight booking application that allows users to search flights by route and date, select seats, complete bookings, and monitor seat availability through a dedicated dashboard.

Idea to ImpactOne Sprint at a Time
The Flight Booking App is a React application designed to simulate a flight booking workflow.
Users can search for flights between routes, select a flight based on a date, choose available seats and complete a booking.
The project focuses on practicing React application architecture, global state management, routing, local persistence and interactive booking logic.
The goal was to create a complete flight-booking experience without relying on a traditional backend database.
The application uses mocked API data stored within the project and localStorage to persist booking information.
The main workflow is:
Search Flight → Select Date → Select Flight → Choose Seat → Book → Generate Invoice
Users can search for available flights based on their desired route and date.
The application uses locally stored mock data to simulate flight information and provide a realistic booking experience without requiring an external backend.
The core functionality of the application is its seat booking system.
Users can select an available seat for a specific flight and date.
Once a seat has been booked, the application prevents another booking for the same seat on the same flight and date.
If a user attempts to book an already reserved seat, the application displays:
"Seat already booked."
This provides a simple example of enforcing booking rules through application state.
The application includes a dashboard where users can view booking information for the current day.
The dashboard provides:
This makes it possible to quickly understand seat availability across the available flights.
Redux is used for global state management.
This allows different parts of the application to access and update shared booking-related state without relying entirely on prop drilling.
The global state helps coordinate information between the flight search, booking and dashboard experiences.
Instead of using a database, booking information is persisted using localStorage.
This allows booking data to remain available across page refreshes within the same browser.
The approach keeps the project lightweight while providing a practical example of client-side persistence.
The application uses React Router DOM to manage navigation between the main application pages.
The routes include:
/ — Home/booking — Booking/invoice — Invoice/login — Login/dashboard — DashboardThis creates a multi-page application experience while keeping the project within a React single-page application architecture.
After completing a booking, users can access an invoice page associated with their booking flow.
This provides a natural completion point for the booking experience.
The application uses a shimmer effect during loading states.
Instead of leaving the interface blank while content is being prepared, shimmer placeholders provide visual feedback and make the loading experience feel more responsive.
The project uses React hooks such as:
useStateuseEffectalong with custom hooks for reusable application logic.
Custom hooks help keep specific logic separate from UI components and make repeated functionality easier to manage.
The interface is built with React, Vite and Tailwind CSS.
Tailwind CSS is used to create the application's responsive layouts and visual components while keeping the styling workflow within the React project.
The project does not use a traditional backend API.
Instead, flight data is mocked and stored within the application's data folder.
This approach makes the project self-contained while allowing the booking experience to simulate API-driven flight data.
The project is built with:
React provides the application framework, Vite handles development and build tooling, Tailwind CSS handles the UI, Redux manages global state, React Router handles navigation and localStorage provides client-side persistence.
This project helped reinforce how different frontend concepts come together to create a complete application.
The booking flow combines:
User Input → Application State → Business Rule → Persistence → UI Update
The seat-booking constraint was particularly useful because it required the application to consider existing booking state before allowing a new booking.
The project also provided practical experience with global state management, client-side persistence, routing and loading experiences.
The application could be extended with:
These improvements would allow the current frontend-focused application to evolve into a complete production-style flight booking platform.
