Re: | Travelport LLC, Travelport Inc. and Guarantors Registration Statement on Form S-4 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Travelport LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Travelport LLC”), and Travelport Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Travelport Inc.” and, together with Travelport LLC, the “Issuers”), Travelport Limited, a Bermuda corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), Waltonville Limited, a Gibraltar corporation (“Waltonville”), and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.á.r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (the “Intermediate Parent Guarantors”), the Delaware subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor listed onSchedule I hereto (collectively, the “Group I Subsidiaries”), and the non-Delaware subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor listed onSchedule II hereto (collectively, the “Group II Subsidiaries” and, together with the Group I Subsidiaries, the Parent Guarantor and Intermediate Parent Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), in connection with the public offering of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 9% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Exchange Notes”). The Indenture, dated as of August 18, 2010 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), provides for the guarantee of the Exchange Notes by the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture (guarantees by the Guarantors are referred to herein as the “Guarantees”). The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) in exchange for a like principal amount of the issued and outstanding 9% Senior Notes due 2016 of the Issuers (the “Original Notes”) under the Indenture, as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2010 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as the representatives of the initial purchasers of the Original Notes.
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Issuers and the Group I Guarantors but including the Parent Guarantor, Intermediate Guarantors and the Group II Subsidiaries, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and, except as expressly set forth in our opinion below, the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties.
