The counter offer is all the time $432 for Saturday departure and $454 for Sunday departure. Driving 250 miles each way to houston is not convenient. I will hold out til Friday evening. If I missed it, I will try for Monday departure. The puzziling thing is on my last trip booked by Priceline for $328 (on American Airlines), the return leg flight was delayed, the AA rep put me on non-stop flight from YUL to DFW at no cost (very nice!), The plane can cary like 130p. Not even 40 seats were booked. So, why in the world they do not fill up more seats by taking Priceline bids? There are only 4 non-stop flight from DFW to YUL (all are AA), I am 100% sure not even 50% of those seats are sold. If they take Priceline bids, I will be more than happy to pay extra $50 for the non-stop flights.
