EKSacce Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hi! i pricelined tickets from cincinnati to honolulu for my family for my upcoming wedding. The tickets were a good price ($360 each plus taxes/fees), and the outbound flight is an ok schedule, BUT the return flight totally stinks! They have 2 layovers (1 in san francisco, and 1 in chicago) each lasting 2 1/2 hours, which makes for a really really long trip. I know that if they left hawaii on Saturday instead of the Sunday flight I scheduled them, they would only have the layover in Chicago, not San Francisco (I ended up PL a Sat return for my brother and he only has the 1 layover). Am I absolutely just stuck with this ticket, or is there a chance the airline would allow me to change? I know PL probably can't/won't do anything about it, but i thought maybe the airline could help. i know this is the risk of using PL, but i thought i would just see if anyone had any ideas.

thereuare Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 What did you end up doing for the Las Vegas Stay?Did you end up sticking with the Tropicana (please follow-up the above post)?

EKSacce Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 actually we haven't decided yet about the vegas hotel. i think the venetian is on HOTWIRE for $115/nt, so I will probably go with that. A little more than we would like to pay, but still a great deal for a beautiful hotel. I will post after we purchase. Link to comment

thereuare Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think you're stuck w/ the airfare ticket unless the airline changes the itinerary... then you might have a chance claiming that you made place based upon the arrival time and now that they're chaning it your plans are no longer valid and you'd like to cancel the flight. I have friends that have done this with non-refundable tickets and had success getting them refunded, but never with a purchase from an opaque service.

dianev Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Doesnt Priceline still have where you have to select if you will take more then 1 layover? I also thought they couldnt be more then 2 hours long? I would check into that Link to comment
