GetThere(R) and TQ3Navigant, the second largest travel management
business services provider in North America, today announced the
signing of a five-year extension to its agreement that designates
the GetThere booking system as a preferred option for TQ3Navigant
corporate online reservations. GetThere is the world's leading
corporate travel reservation technology, helping half of the
Fortune 200 companies manage travel online. "GetThere continues to
provide experienced, proven support to go with its increasingly
user-friendly booking tool," said John Coffman, chief accounting
officer for TQ3Navigant. "It is critical for us to have a reliable
corporate system that works across multiple GDSs and foreign
languages. GetThere's ongoing commitment to delivering enhancements
that work worldwide make the product a vital component of our
global growth strategy." TQ3Navigant began offering the GetThere
system to its corporate clients in November 2000. Today, more than
50 TQ3Navigant customers use the technology, including a number of
prominent multi-national firms. TQ3Navigant's online corporate
bookings increased 45 percent through the first six months of 2005.
"TQ3Navigant has done an impressive job of leveraging GetThere's
strengths to meet the needs of its diverse client base," said Bev
Heinritz, general manager of GetThere. "The ongoing success of
GetThere's agency distributor program has its foundation in
agencies like TQ3Navigant, which work with us and corporate clients
to creatively maximize the benefits of corporate travel programs."
More than 60 travel agencies are Authorized Resellers in GetThere's
Partner Program, which launched earlier this year. The program
provides agencies with a powerful online tool allowing them to
create agency-branded online booking sites for corporate clients.
An agency can customize its booking site, combine it with online
support and other travel management services, and package the
complete offering for corporations. GetThere resellers also receive
frequent enhancements to the product that result from significant
investments made across all of Sabre Holdings' online technologies.

TotalPrice(SM) for Cars functionality on the GetThere system gives
business travelers the complete price of their rental car,
including taxes and fees, prior to choosing and booking a car
online. The new car shopping experience follows the recent
implementation of GetThere's enhanced hotel booking path.
