Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 I used it in the summer of 2000. I flew round trip from Minneapolis, MN to New York, NY. I bid $150. After they added taxes and all the extra charges, it was still under $200 round trip. I didn't have any problems with them although I've heard of people who have...what those problems were, i'm not sure. The only thing I would tell you is to watch the days you say you want to fly because they can, (and often do) schedule a 6 am flight. Dena Casper, WY > Has anyone used priceline.com for airfare?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Thanks for your feedback. I guess the value was worth it? How much do you think you saved? Someone told me you put in the days and it comes back w/it's own time. Did you get to select from times? If you don't like the times can you cancel?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 No you can't cancel. They ask for your credit card info before they process the bid. If the bid is accepted, they just debit your card. Sure you can cancel...but you won't get your money back. You can't choose from times so I suggest asking for one day longet than you really want. I wish I would have. unless you don't mind going really early...although I supposr they could end up scheduling you really late as well. That's the whole thing. You just don't know. BUT I feel it was definitely worth it. A round trip ticket at the time was almost $1000 so I would do it again in a heartbeat. And actually, I went with a girlfriend. She had the plane tickets and she left them in the seat pocket of the plane. We changed planes in Washington DC. If we hadn't bought our tickets online, we would have had to miss that flight. So, it was kind of nice in that respect. I hope this all helps. Dena Casper, WY > > > Has anyone used priceline.com for airfare?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 I purchased two tickets today on Priceline.com. I was very pleased with the rate...a little scared to give my credit card info so early in the process...but all ended up GOOD. I would use it again.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 If you don't mind me asking... what were the travel times? Were they early? Thanks for your feedback!!!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 I don't mind you asking questions...that's why we are here. I bought the ticker so my 18 1/2 year old son who is in college in CA (living with my ex) can come visit me for a week. I am so excited to see him. He is bringing his girlfriend with him. The times leaving Southern CA on a Wednesday: 2:30 p.m., arrive Detroit, MI 11:30 p.m. Going back to Southern CA, leaving Detroit, MI 7:15 p.m., arriving in Los Angeles at 11:30 pm. Priceline does give you a few choices and does offer you a chance to do a new search. That is why I was so pleased.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Yes, I am very excited to see him, he has been very busy with college and baseball. He arrives in July and we have a fun time planned. His sister (my 21 1/2 yr old) will be joining us with her husband for our family outing. My daughter keeps telling me how weird it is going to be for her to say, " yeah, this is my little brother or sister " . She is very excited for us. My son needs to be reminded that I am going to do this. In person though!
