Hi, I am trying to save some money on two tickets to my friend's wedding in Naples.

Flying from San Diego, CA 8/30/10 (Arrive on 8/31/10) and leaving Naples, Italy on 9/7/10.

Lowest fare I could find was :

Summary

1 Ticket / Roundtrip

SAN San Diego to

NAP Naples

Leave: Mon 30-Aug

Return: Tue 7-Sep

1 adult $849.00

Taxes & Fees $152.90

Total $1,001.90

Through Expedia.

Oh, and I will use the PRICELINE links on the site to bid!

I appreciate any help,

Kevin

Savings on airfare can be tough, but to give it a try...

You can get an almost unlimited number of re-bids by using the technique in the second post if this Priceline Airfare Re-bidding thread.

Since you won't get any discount on the taxes/fees portion of the ticket i'd start with a $450 bid (50% discount to the base fare) and then increase $10-25 per re-bid... lowering the re-bid increments from $25 to $10 as you get closer to your maximum bid of $550.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I tried the Free Re-bid strategy (and clicked on the PRICELINE link).

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any "close" airports that Priceline will recognize, so I can switch over to SAN or NAP on the second page. I tried TIJ, SNA, ONT, LAX, etc.

Any suggestions?

Ok, thanks. I tried with the city names instead of airport codes, and that worked much better for the free re-bids.

Unfortunately, I bid up to my maximum ($1400 total) and was not accepted.

Just a thought, maybe my bids would never be accepted, as my flights seem to have 2 connections and priceline's max is 1?
