Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers Contract Balances Revenue recognition for a significant portion of our revenue coincides with normal billing terms, including Travel Network's transactional revenues, and Airline Solutions' and Hospitality Solutions' Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") and hosted revenues. Timing differences among revenue recognition, unconditional rights to bill, and receipt of contract consideration may result in contract assets or contract liabilities. The following table presents our assets and liabilities with customers as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

________________________________ (1) Includes contract assets of $6 million for March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized revenue of approximately $16 million from contract liabilities that existed as of January 1, 2020. Our long-term trade unbilled receivables, net relate to license fees billed ratably over the contractual period and recognized when the customer gains control of the software. We evaluate collectability of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors and record reserves as described further in Note 5. Credit Losses.

Transaction revenue for airline travel reservations is recognized by Travel Network at the time of booking of the reservation, net of estimated future cancellations. Cancellations of airline travel reservations prior to the day of departure were estimated based on the historical level of cancellation rates, adjusted to take into account the significant effect that COVID-19 has had on the travel industry and the resulting volume of airline travel cancellations. We may occasionally recognize revenue in the current period for performance obligations partially or fully satisfied in the previous periods resulting from changes in estimates for the transaction price, including any changes to our assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impact on revenue recognized in the current period, from performance obligations partially or fully satisfied in the previous period, is immaterial. We recognize revenue under long-term contracts that primarily includes variable consideration based on transactions processed. A majority of our consolidated revenue is recognized as a stand-ready performance obligation with the amount recognized based on the invoiced amounts for services performed, known as right to invoice revenue recognition. Certain of our contracts, primarily in the Airlines Solutions business, contain minimum transaction volumes, which in many instances are not considered substantive as the customer is expected to exceed the minimum in the contract. Unearned performance obligations primarily consist of deferred revenue for fixed implementation fees and future product implementations, which are included in deferred revenue and other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. We have not disclosed the performance obligation related to contracts containing minimum transaction volume, as it represents a subset of our business, and therefore would not be meaningful in understanding the total future revenues expected to be earned from our long-term contracts.
