                      AND ANNOUNCES NEW AIRLINE CONTRACTS                      

Online Travel Corporation plc ('OTC'), the travel technology and distribution
group, announced today that it has acquired the website Onlinetravel.com from
US based World Travel Partners for an undisclosed amount.

Mark Jones, CEO of OTC, commented: 'We are usually described as Online Travel
in the sector and as our reputation grows, it is important for us to have the
onlinetravel.com web address as an umbrella brand and reference point.'

OTC also announced a new contract to provide fledgling airline BMI Baby with
fulfillment in Ireland and hotel and villa products in the UK and new Preferred
Agent Status with British Airways, one of only four online businesses and one
of some twenty businesses to achieve this in the UK.

British Airways and an emerging airline like BMI Baby both recognise the
quality of the products and services we provide.'
