Offer was accepted for 7/19-7/24 (originally 7/20) MSY -> CLT at $235! I started at $200 with LFT -> CLT, then $225 and added MSY to outgoing option, then $230 by adding BTR (logistically between LFT and MSY). I was also flexible on days though so I switched to 7/19 and $235 was accepted! Thanks!

I know you guys recommend the links and let me start by saying I used your link to go to the Priceline page. I am trying to bid on a ticket from LFT or MSY (preferably LFT) to CLT for July 20, 2013 to July 24, 2013. I checked the Southwest website (MSY - CLT) and a flight is roughly $375 so I used that as a measure. I set my first bid at $180. The site declined my bid and said that the best it could find was out of MSY for $272 and another option for around $370. I decided to re-bid at $181 and had the same result and telling me the best price is $272. I have a couple questions. 1. Is it telling me that the cheapest "Name Your Price" price is $272? Is it pointless for me to bid anything less? 2. I know that the day and time you purchase a ticket can effect the ticket price and that typically the cheapest time to buy tickets is Tuesday mornings. Would this also affect my chances of my bid being accepted? 3. Please help/advise!
