Abstract

When travelers try to make a travel plan they face a decision problem about selecting their flights, in the literature this problem is defined as flight selection problem (FSP). The problem occurs since there are numerous companies and flight options and the options makes it hard to select the best alternative. The factors which are generally involved in FSP are cost of the flight, the duration of the flight, the number of connected flights, the departure and arrival times, and the convenience of the airports. Flight selection problem can be considered as a multi-criteria decision making problem since it involves various criteria. COmbinative Distance-based ASsessment (CODAS) is a multi-criteria decision making method which is based on distance of alternatives to ideal solutions. Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (IT2FS) are extensions of fuzzy sets which can handle more uncertainty in decision problems. In this study, we propose IT2F-CODAS method which incorporates IT2FS and CODAS method and apply the method to solve flight selection problem.
