Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating recommendations. In response to receiving a request, the system generates a plurality of suggested recommendations for both a first bound and a second bound of a trip. The system stores the suggested recommendations corresponding to the first bound and the second bound in a memory, where the suggested recommendations corresponding to the second bound coincide to a subset of the suggested recommendations corresponding to the first bound published for display. The system publishes the suggested recommendations corresponding to the first bound for display to a user. In response to receiving an input that indicates a selected recommendation for the first bound, the system determines whether the selected recommendation is one of the subset of the suggested recommendations corresponding to the first bound.
