900 Companies Seek DialAFlight's Help to Cut Travel Costs

LONDON, February 24, 2010 - Award winning travel company DialAFlight announced today that almost 900
companies have requested their help in slashing corporate travel costs.

DialAFlight, which is one of the two largest UK flight retailers, has
huge buying power with airlines and hotel groups and claims that in most
cases it can help a company make considerable savings to its travel spending.

It was the only travel firm to be listed in this year's Sunday Times top
250 survey of the most successful independent UK companies. It is the sixth
year running that the GBP300 million turnover company has been listed.

A company spokesman said: 'We have noticed a huge surge in companies
looking hard at their costs since the beginning of the current downturn. Some
had actually been buying their travel quite well but others have managed to
save themselves thousands of pounds simply by changing the way they buy.

The company uses a different business model to the traditional business
travel agency which normally offers a month's credit or payment by the 15th
of the month.

'If you're wanting to arrange, say, flights to Orlando (
www.dialaflight.com/flights/usa/florida/orlando/ ), then travel is
paid for as it is booked - often with a company credit card or Amex card or
the company is set up with a monthly account with a third party fulfilment
company. This means you can get your cheap flights to Orlando, as well as
booking your hotel and car at the same time.'

'The biggest hurdle is persuading the companies to move away from their
traditional credit system,' said the spokesman. 'But usually when they
understand how much they can save then they bite the bullet and after that
they never go back.'

'A company which came to us recently was spending about a million pounds
a year but was reluctant to give up their current way of working until we
explained to them that they could save themselves between GBP40,000 and
GBP70,000
annually. The most they could have expected to earn on their credit
arrangements was under GBP4000'.
