All prices subject to availability and correct at time of publication. About Onlinetravel.com (www.onlinetravel.com): Launched by OTC in October 2002, following its purchase of the URL in June of that year, Onlinetravel.com is the fastest-growing independent travel site in the UK. The site was launched with the intention of creating an e-travel website focused on the self-packaging market, a market created by OTC in October 2001 with the launch of Build-Your-Own (BYO) technology, a solution enabling travellers to build tailor-made holidays online by combining flights and hotels. Onlinetravel.com offers OTC�s facilities to independent travellers, including airfares � from published through to tour operator rates � and worldwide hotels and self-catering apartments. Since its launch, the site has witnessed dramatic increases in bookings on holidays, flights, late deals and self-packaged holidays.

*BYO pricing structure: Through its BYO solution, OTC is able to offer self-packaging customers discounted �Inclusive Tour� (IT) rates that are cheaper than other discounted fares on the same departures. These fares were previously only offered by tour operators and travel agents as part of packaged deals. The IT rates, which must be combined with OTC�s hotel options and cannot be purchased separately, offer travellers cost-savings on the flight element of their holiday, compared to the flight-only prices offered by other online travel providers, usually �published� or �consolidators� fares.
