ROA (Roanoke) --> KOA (Big Island, HI)

[my3kids]

I have been checking airfare for the last month or so. It has remained fairly consistent over time, $984. I found a package thru Expedia including a hotel for one night for $850. I selected it, then when it came to the final purchase screen the price jumped to $922. I've never used PL for air but decided to try.

I had read here to try about half price. I tried $500 not expecting anything. They came back and said $655 would work. I changed one of the things I could-connections- and bid $550. Again came back at $655. I changed another option-red eye-and tried $601. It was accepted. I am thrilled with the price.

Not only was the price terrific for HI in summer from the east coast, it was a very good choice of flight times. I am really happy.

Now to start bidding thru your PRICELINE link again for a hotel for the first night :) Thanks, betterbidding!

Can you please add the dates, carrier, and flight times/connections. Since so far in advance there may be others who can plan ahead and want to get in on a similar deal.

Let us know if you need help with the hotel portion of your travel arrangements.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.
