BELLEVUE, Washington, May 6, 2011 - Expedia(R) Affiliate Network (EAN), an Expedia, Inc. division dedicated
to private label partnerships, announced a partnership today with South
African Airways (SAA), the leading airline carrier in Africa serving 20

35 destinations that it serves.

"We are very pleased to be working with Expedia as our new hotel service
provider," said Marc Cavaliere, Vice President of Global Sales Development
for SAA. "We selected EAN because they allow us to offer our customers a

attractive rates."

Vice President of Sales for EAN EMEA. "Not only are we able to offer their
customers great rates at more than 135,000 properties worldwide, but in

transaction for both air and hotel."

The new offering will be built using EAN's flexible hotel API and
