Best buy: what does it mean in corporate travel?

Starting with the importance of purchasing flights within the best buy policy, this work brings a statistical approach to the outline - a purchase model that intersects the cost of the flight and the type of ticket with the behavior of travellers and the their tendency to make changes in travel. It is thus defined as the "best purchase" that minimizes the expected overall flight cost.
