Press Release: Travelocity.com Inc.
April 10, 2001
FORT WORTH, TX -- Travelocity.com Inc. (Nasdaq: TVLY), the leading travel Web site, was recognized by FamilyPC
and named a ``Family Tested'' winner in the Travel category for the publication's ``Top 100 Family Web Sites''.
``We are proud to be recognized by FamilyPC as the full-service Internet travel site that brings to families the
tools they need to plan and buy travel in a safe and easy-to-use format,'' said Terrell B. Jones, president and
chief executive officer of Travelocity. ``This accolade demonstrates our commitment and reinforces our goal to
provide all of our members with industry-leading options that make travel planning convenient and fun.''
In its ``Top 100 Web Sites'' article for the April issue, FamilyPC highlights Travelocity as a ``megasite'' with
so many destinations and deals, and so little time. Travelocity is applauded for providing the widest range of
travel planning tools for booking flights, cars, hotels, vacation packages, cruises and much more. FamilyPC showcases
Travelocity's Vacation Finder feature, which allows members to select a destination and a date and view the dozens
of package deals and tours available. The magazine also noted another Travelocity feature, Seat Maps, which gives
members a view of the seats in an airplane to determine where they want to sit, and helps ensure families are seated
together. Additionally, FamilyPC especially notes Travelocity's printable Custom Miniguides that give members personalized
guides for popular domestic and international destinations.
FamilyPC's editorial staff researched a large number of Web sites to bring to consumers a targeted list of options
in 36 categories to help families save time and effort when searching for information on the Internet. The sites
are scored based on ease of use, site design, and, most important, the content. Top sites geared to the family
include the best places to shop and play, find lost relatives or a new job, or get advice to keep the family (and
pets) healthy and happy. Additionally, FamilyPC found 46 more family friendly sites that are not listed anywhere
else.
