gridirongr8 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 hey guys (thereuare and all others), asking for a little help tonight in using the priceline price bid (or hotwire if it makes sense). I'm looking to travel from SFO/SJC/OAK to London (LHR/Gatwick/London City). My dates are flexible, but when I have been searching June 28-July 14th comes up with the lowest price. Right now I am finding around $795 (united, with $400 fees) or $1048 ($180 fees) for a total of around $1190-$1220 to be the best price. Do you have any suggestions on what to start with?Thanks!!!

thereuare Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 You can get an almost unlimited number of re-bids by using the techniques discussed in this Priceline Airfare Re-Bidding thread (see the second post especially)I'd start at half of the base fare ($400... making the total ~$800) and increase by $25 per bid from there... then increasing to $10-$20 once you get to ~$550 or so (you can increase earlier depending upon how much time you have on your hands)Please use this Priceline Airfare link to begin your bidding.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
