OAG Launches Travel Planner Pro to Search, Plan and Book Flights and Complex Business Travel Itineraries; Launches Dedicated Web Site for Travel Solution Shopping

CHICAGO, May 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- Planning Travel Just Got Easier, Says OAG

OAG (Official Airline Guide), the global flight information and data
solutions company, today announced the launch of OAG Travel Planner Pro, its
new intelligent online tool for people who need to search, plan and book
business travel quickly and efficiently, and a completely rebuilt web site
www.oag.com for people who need to control their travel arrangements.

OAG Travel Planner Pro is a brand new online business travel planning
application which enables business travellers and professional travel
arrangers to plan, book and manage multiple trip plans for multiple
travellers, and to create highly complex itineraries in an easy to use and
intuitive online environment. OAG Travel Planner Pro enables users to do
everything from a simple look-up for flights, hotels, car rental, trains and
destination information, right through the trip building process using the
trip builder wizard, to checking flight status and printing off a full
itinerary including appointment details.

OAG.com, the company's dedicated travel web site, has been completely
redesigned based on extensive research into the online behaviours of business
travellers and those who are responsible for managing travel arrangements.
Geary Interactive, a full-service digital marketing agency based in San
Diego, USA, has designed and developed the new site to create a digital
environment where consumers can interact intelligently with the wealth of
travel information OAG is known for providing.

David Rosen, Managing Director OAG Travel Solutions, said, "Our strength
is providing the best information and travel planning tools available, using
the same OAG database that keeps the global travel industry moving. Our
customers are not shopping for ideas, they are shopping for solutions. They
know where they're going and when they need to be there, and need reliable
information to ensure they are fully prepared. Business trips can be very
complex to arrange, especially when things change last minute. We have
listened to our customers and introduced a booking and fulfilment service for
travellers and planners who currently self-book, which will put them in full
control of their travel arrangements and make their lives easier. Now, with
OAG Travel Planner Pro, they will have everything in one place in a really
easy to use and intuitive online application for smarter travel planning."

Rosen continued, "For travel managers and planners who already use a
travel management company, OAG Travel Planner Pro can provide real benefits.
Once the planning is completed, they can then simply send their travel plans
to their TMC for booking and fulfilment. Travel agencies are an important
customer group for OAG, and we have already had a lot of interest from
companies wishing to white label Travel Planner Pro as a full-service option
for their own clients."

The booking and fulfilment service within OAG Travel Planner Pro is
provided through a number of specialist global travel partners.

Travellers and arrangers wishing to watch a guided demonstration of OAG
Travel Planner Pro, or to register for a free trial, should go to www.oag.com
or email customers@oag.com.

OAG Travel Planner Pro is the online part of OAG's multi-media offering
to help business travellers take off and land with a plan. It is complemented
by OAG Flights2Go for instant access on your mobile phone to worldwide flight
schedules and flight status updates, and the OAG Pocket Flight Guide for when
print is the best solution. The Guide is published monthly in four regional
editions: Europe, Africa & Middle East; North America; Latin America &
Caribbean; and Asia Pacific.

Highlights of OAG Travel Planner Pro include:

Search results: the ability to create a shortlist of possible flights and
hotels which can be sent to the traveller for selection.

Trip Builder Wizard: this brand new function means you can quickly and
easily build a skeleton itinerary which you can then populate. The Wizard
guides you every step of the way as you search and add in flights, hotels,
car rental, trains, boats and ferries. You can also include custom items such
as buses, staying with friends, local restaurants and meetings during the
trip.

Booking and Fulfilment: users will have immediate access to a fast and
reliable fare comparison, booking and fulfilment service wherever they are in
the world.

Travel Assistant: this feature provides additional information and
support for the user to find reservation numbers, minimum connecting times,
check the status of a flight, and numerous other useful things for a complete
itinerary.

PDF facility: all itineraries, no matter how complex, can be output
automatically to a standard template which can be exported as a PDF file for
easy printing and emailing.
