bkcadavis Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi I'm trying to get a flight from Bloomington, IL (BMI) to Orlando, FL (MCO) for June 12th to the 20th. I've used priceline a lot for hotels and always get great deals. I'm having trouble figuring out how much I should bid. The tickets are 281 today. Last night they were 243. I'd like to pay 140 per ticket. Any suggestions?Kristen Link to comment

bkcadavis Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Today it says 228 and with taxes/fees it's 270. So can I bid 40% off of the 228? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 See the second post in this Priceline Airfare RE-Bidding for info on how to get almost unlimited re-bids when bidding on airfare. Using this technique, you can start at ~50% off and increase by $5/$10 per re-bid until you reach your maximum bid.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
