Online travel company Webjet is on track to lift underlying earnings to $27 million despite a rise in costs and foreign currency fluctuations.

Webjet says total transaction values - or the price it sells travel products and services as an agent for airlines - surged 41 per cent to $646 million in the six months to June 30 thanks to solid rises in domestic and international bookings.

The result helps put Webjet on track to lift underlying earnings from $23.3 million in 2013/14 despite higher costs from expanding its sales team and a $2 million hit from foreign exchange movements.
