travmedia.com: "About Onlinetravel.com (www.onlinetravel.com)
Onlinetravel.com is the fastest-growing independent travel site in the UK. Its easy to use Build-Your-Own (BYO) technology allows consumers to create their ideal holiday from a comprehensive range of worldwide flights and hotels.

BYO deals couple the convenience of a tailor-made break with the advantage of cheaper airfares and hotel rates. Onlinetravel.com features flight, hotel and car rental deals negotiated by parent company Online Travel Corporation (OTC), and mean customers can take advantage of everything from airfares at rates only offered by carriers to tour operators, through to discounted hotel and self-catering accommodation. Since its launch, Onlinetravel.com has witnessed dramatic month-on-month increases in sales of BYO holidays.

OTC is part of lastminute.com, Europe's leading independent online provider of travel and leisure solutions.

*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.
