LONDON, May 6, 2010 - Egencia(R), an Expedia, Inc. company, today announced a number of updates

and Q1 growth, Egencia is announcing the following changes:

"It is an honour to join Egencia," said Shingles. "I was impressed by
Egencia's rapid growth in recent years and the opportunity to deliver a
powerful, innovative combination of service and technology to today's
corporate travel industry."

Mr. Shingles joins Egencia with extensive experience building and
developing high performance commercial teams and client-centric organization
businesses. Most recently, he was part of the leadership team responsible for
launching Jet Republic, a startup in the private jet market servicing leading
corporations. Additionally, he has worked as the Global Head of CRM at
Mergermarket, part of the Financial Times Group. Jonny's career began in the
Royal Air force as a fighter pilot then as an instructor before completing a
MBA at London Business School.

"After so many years with Egencia, I'm thrilled to contribute to the
organization in a new way," said Peymirat. "As the Global Vice President of
Marketing, my primary objective is to ensure we are meeting the needs of our
customers through new and unique products and services - both in countries
where we already have a presence and as we expand globally around the world."

Christophe Peymirat will be returning to the company's Paris office and
has been with Egencia for the last 9 years, most recently leading Egencia UK
business operations. Prior to 2004, Peymirat was part of the original Egencia
team for several years, serving initially as Director of Product Development
and later as Director of Large Accounts. Peymirat's career began working for
L'Oreal as a Sales and Marketing Executive. He went on to work for Bain &
Company as a Business Consultant.

"After many years of experience driving our business development efforts
globally, I am excited by the opportunity to lead our APAC team," said
Routledge. "I look forward to expanding Egencia's business services in India,
China, Australia and other APAC markets, which are strong and developing
corporate travel markets with huge growth potential."

Cecilia Routledge, Managing Director Asia-Pacific, will now report to
Christophe Pingard, Senior VP EMEA and APAC. She has over 15 years experience
of developing new business units in International points of sale, in
particular in EMEA and Latin America. Routledge has worked for Egencia for
more than six years in various positions such as Global Strategy and Business
Development and Product Marketing for EMEA. She has a Master of Science from
University of Uppsala and a Master of International Management from HEC de
Lausanne.

"Egencia operates on a global scale," said Huber. "This position will
give me the chance to further develop deep relationships with our
International supply partners and provide them with new opportunities to
deliver valuable offerings to our clients and travelers."

Germain Huber is appointed Senior Director of Supplier Relations in
Europe. From 2004 till now, as Director of Operations, Egencia Europe, he
managed Egencia's service strategy and day-to-day operations in 10 countries
including France, UK, Germany and Belgium. Huber joined Egencia in 2001, as
Marketing Manager with extensive experience in the travel industry. Like
Christophe Peymirat, he graduated from HEC and received a Master's Degree in
International Economics from Sciences Po Paris.

These new positions will help manage and support Egencia as it
scales globally, confirming the company's recent growth in the marketplace.
