    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques and systems for creating personalized travel itineraries for users. The personalized itineraries may be created by analyzing prior travel preferences of a user to suggest various locations, activities, time frames, transportation, and/or lodging to the user. In some instance, the personalized itineraries may be created by comparing data associated with the user with data associated with a group of other users to determine a similarity between the user and other users within the group of other users. Where a similarity exists, an itinerary provider may create an itinerary for the user based on the travel preferences of the user and the prior behavior of the similar users.

    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to providing access to media content for travelers during a trip, where the trip may include lodging, transit, and/or activities. A service provider may obtain information about a user and a trip. The service provider may determine information about the user, such as account information that may identify media content that is typically accessible by the user. An amount of available space on a device may be determined that can be used to store prefetched content for the trip. Recommended content may be selected to fill the amount of space on the device. The recommended content may be based on information about the user, information about the trip, and/or other information. The recommended content may be downloaded onto the device prior to the trip so that the user has access to the content from the device during the trip.

    Abstract: Embodiments may include the generation and use of content source rankings for improving playback quality of content streams. In embodiments, a merchant system may collect and aggregate multiple quality metrics for different content streams that various content sources provide to various clients. The merchant system may utilize the quality metrics to generate rankings of content sources for clients. In some cases, a client itself may generate a ranking of content sources for use in the selection of content sources. The merchant system may provide such rankings to clients to improve the content stream playback experience on the client. For instance, at content acquisition time, a client may request a content stream from a content resource ranked highest on a content source ranking provided by the merchant. If the content stream degrades, the client may source subsequent portions of the content stream from another highly ranked content source of the ranking.
