Las Vegas-based Lowestfare.com, a discount travel company, has opened a new call center in Kent, Wash.

The company said today the 38,000-square-foot facility was opened with 142 employees and the facility will have 250 by the middle of 2000. The company's Las Vegas call center has 550 employees.

The company said a 26 percent increase in the number of calls necessitated the new call center. The company recently acquired Jetset Tours and Maupintour Inc.
