As part of the agreement, OneTravel is providing over 700 daily travel auctions to the customers of its two web sites, OneTravel.com and leading last-minute travel provider 11thHourVacations.com . SkyAuction is powering the travel auction sites for both OneTravel and 11thHourVacations. All opening bids for the auctions start at $1, with no minimum bid required.

The partnership enhances OneTravel`s extensive selection of discount travel deals, especially for high-demand holiday season travel dates. Customers of OneTravel and 11thHourVacations can now bid on hundreds of special offers for airline tickets, hotels and resorts, air-inclusive vacation packages, and cruises.

"Being that our company`s mission is to be the leader in budget travel, the auction model fits nicely into our product portfolio," said Michael Thomas, President and CEO of OneTravel. "Our auction product line runs the gamut from budget hotels and charter airfares to luxury 5-star resorts with first-class air. So not only are customers going to get a great discount, but they will also enjoy a high-quality travel experience and hopefully have some fun during the bidding process, too."

SkyAuction has been running auctions on its own site since February 1999. OneTravel is now a featured travel provider on the SkyAuction site, supplying air and car rentals for the auctions won. To access these new auction sites, visit http://www.OneTravel.com or http://www.11thHourVacations.com and click on the "Travel Auctions" link on the homepage.
