1. User Management: The system securely manages user accounts and login credentials, allowing users to book flights and manage their reservations effortlessly.

2. Flight Management: Admins can efficiently manage flights, update flight details, and ensure that all flights are up-to-date and accurately represented in the system.

3. Reservation Management: The system allows users to view, book, and cancel reservations in a few simple steps, making the entire process smooth and user-friendly.

How to Use

1. Clone the Repository: Start by cloning the repository to your local machine.
2. Compile the Program: Use a C compiler like gcc or CODEBLOCS editor to compile the source code. the user name and password is daniel and daniel
3. Run the Program: Execute the compiled program to start the Flight Booking System.
4. Navigate the Menu: Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate through the user or admin modes.

Problem Solved

This project aims to provide a simple yet functional flight booking system for users and administrators. It helps solve the problem of managing flight bookings in a small-scale environment where a web-based system might be unnecessary or too complex. The program stores all user and flight data in files, making it easy to manage and update.

Future Enhancements

• Flight Search: Implement a flight search feature allowing users to find flights based on specific criteria.
• Seat Management: Include seat selection and availability features for a more detailed booking process.
• Enhanced Security: Improve the security of user data with encryption and more complex login mechanisms.
• GUI Implementation: Extend the program with a graphical user interface (GUI) for a more user-friendly experience.
