Top Routes by Ancillary Revenue

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Given a schema of flight bookings and passenger details, write a query to find the top three routes by total ancillary revenue generated.

Use confirmed bookings, posted ancillary transactions, and bookings associated with a passenger record. Treat NULL ancillary amounts as zero.

Output

  1. One row per route, with origin_airport, destination_airport, total_ancillary_revenue, and route_rank.
  2. Include only the three highest-revenue routes.
  3. Order by route_rank ascending, breaking ties by origin and destination airport codes.
