Attached is the EERD and the specs.

Much Appreciated guys for the input

i had a really good chuckle as the first three entities i saw on your diagram were customer, seat, leg -- you're booking each customer leg separately from his seat? LOL

sometimes i use more than one colour

if there's anything left over on either side at the end, then i've obvioulsy overlooked something

Hi guys please help us, we need good advice on whether our entities and relationships are correct and if there must be any more additional entities. The whole flight leg and leg instance thing is screwing with us...please help.

We are a group of 3 working on a project and I would like for you to just take a look at the EERD and give us some feedback if we are on the right track.

Thanks
