Airport Data Objects

Airport Data

The Mappedin system has four types of object that can be synced that are specific to airports: Check-In Counter, Security Wait Times, Flight and Parking. These objects provide additional capabilities to Mappedin Web users, such as:

• Searching for their gate by flight number
• Integrating security wait times into estimated journey times
• Finding the check-in counter for their airline
• Viewing available parking

Check-In Counter

The airline occupying a specific set of check-in counters may vary over the course of a day. A check-in is a special type of location that may only be active for a set period in the day. To handle this, Mappedin can run a higher frequency sync to an airline check-in endpoint that returns current active check-ins to ensure counters are accurately associated with the correct airlines on the map at all times.

Security Wait Times

On a Mappedin Map, a connection is used to represent a path between two nodes. Security checkpoints are represented as connections that allow passage in only one direction and have a wait time, representing the time it takes for a traveller to pass through it.

    },
    {
        "externalId": "SEC3",
        "waitTime": 9
    },
]

Flight

Flight data allows a user to perform a search using their airline name or flight code. The search results can show them additional details and provide directions to the gate of departure or arrival.

It is recommended to pass both the checkinId and claimUnitId where relevant on each flight. This allows the map to accurately route to the relevant check-in or baggage claim.

Parking

Using the parking object allows users to see information about parking lots. They can check for things such as the parking lot size, number of free spaces and whether the parking lot is open or closed.
