Reno Air Introduces On-Line Booking

    RENO, Nev., May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Reno Air, Inc. [(Nasdaq: RENO),
(PCX: RNO)] today announced internet users can now purchase tickets on-line
for all domestic flights via the carrier's web site at "www.renoair.com."
    "We're very excited about the addition of on-line booking to our web
site," said Reno Air Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Steve Sarner.
"During the last year, we have refined and upgraded our homepage, and are
confident consumers will find the process of booking Reno Air flights via the
internet easy and efficient."
    After accessing the on-line reservations system via the carrier's web
site, travelers will go through a few simple steps which include selection of
origination and destination cities, class of service, with the option of a
restricted or unrestricted fare, and departure times and dates.  Then,
passengers simply enter their name, address, and phone and credit card numbers
to complete the transaction.  All internet fares must be purchased at the time
of making the reservation.
    Reservations made on the internet will be issued as "EZtrip" ticketless
travel, and passengers will receive a mailed copy of their itinerary.  Fares
include taxes and passenger facility charges.
    Reno Air is the launch customer for SHARESweb(SM), a new internet offering

to introduce this type of product, which is linked directly to Reno Air's
SHARES reservations system.

Reno Air with a competitive advantage, opening up the electronic skyways to
millions of travelers," said Nate Lanford, President of Air Transport Services
at EDS.
