Press Release Summary: Direct Flights International partnered with bopo Cards
(Australia) Pty Ltd in 2007

Press Release Body: SYDNEY, 01 APRIL 2008 - Direct Flights International kicks off
their new online promotion that rewards travellers with a complimentary Direct
Flights bopo Prepaid Visa Card - a new way to book holidays online, carry cash
safely and shop worldwide - anywhere VISA is accepted electronically.

The Direct Flights bopo card is a reloadable prepaid Visa card that is able to be
used online, at shops, on flights, hotels, car hire, entertainment, and at ATMs
around the world. Because the card is backed with the security of VISA, is not
connected to personal financial instruments like bank accounts, and only carries a
prepaid balance on it, the card eases the worry that is often associated when
travelling and shopping overseas.

Direct Flights International partnered with bopo Cards (Australia) Pty Ltd in 2007,
in the interest of developing a reward and gift program for their customers that
would also be naturally complementary to travelling.

"We wanted to give our customers something that they could use every day on holiday
as well as once they are back home," says Nay Phu Tran CEO and Managing Director of
Direct Flights. "A prepaid card that offers the convenience of a credit card and the
security of a bank card and travellers cheques became the obvious choice for us."

The reloadable card can be used anywhere in the world that VISA is accepted
electronically and carries all the same conveniences of a regular credit card, yet
because it's prepaid people can only spend the money they continue to load onto it.
Some of the other features of the card include: being able to check the account
balance online or by SMS from almost anywhere is the world; transferring cash
instantly from bopo to bopo card via SMS or online (this is especially handy in an
emergency or if the holder runs out of cash while travelling); using SMS to suspend,
re-activate or report the card stolen from almost anywhere in the world; and having
no interest charges or annual fees.

From 01 April 2008 - 30 June 2008, Direct Flights International is giving a
complimentary Direct Flights bopo Prepaid Visa card to customers that purchase any
travel product such as flights, accommodation, car hire, cruises, travel packages,
destination activities and travel insurance online through the Direct Flights
International website, located at www.directflights.com.au.

Direct Flights International has been an online travel provider since 1990 and over
