1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a search request from a device of a user;
determining, via a server, a plurality of travel options in response to the search request; and
sending, from the server, a presentation to the device, the presentation to display the travel options using a chart having a dimension graphically representing travel times of the travel options, the dimension including a timescale, and wherein the presentation is to further display at least one calendar item of the user on the timescale, the calendar item existing prior to receiving the search request.

Abstract
Systems and methods to present travel options in response to a search request. In one aspect, after a computer system receives a search request from a user, the computer system determines a plurality of travel options in response to the search request. The computer system then presents the travel options using a chart having a dimension graphically representing travel times of the travel options, such as in a Gantt chart with a graphical timescale, which may have a representation of an analog clock.

20. A computer system, comprising:
-
a means for receiving a search request from a device of a user, the device running a calendar application to display a plurality of pre-existing scheduled items of the user; a means for determining, via a server, a plurality of travel options in response to the search request; and a means for sending, from the server, a presentation to the device, the presentation to display the travel options using a chart having a dimension graphically representing travel times of the travel options, wherein the dimension includes a timescale, and the chart includes a plurality of bars graphically representing travel time periods between departure and arrival of the travel options, and wherein the presentation is to further display at least one of the scheduled items on the timescale.
