torontoontario Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Posted February 9, 2011 thanks for replying, this is my first trip to Paris, and I have no idea which area is good for me. since I am going be there for 6 days, so I think any center location will be fine. I have bid on these following zones, any suggestion?Champs Elysees-Opera Quarter WestSt Germain-Latin Quarter-MontparnasseEiffel Tower-Grenelle-MontparnasseOpera Quarter East - Les Halles sorry, english is my second langue. :)

torontoontario Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 Thank you for your responding.Yes, I do not mind to raise the max.And another question,: I booked the air tickets already, but just in case that I can
thereuare Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 When you place your bid on PRICELINE there is a box to check mark if you'd like to purchase insurance as well ($5/nite added on to the cost of your purchase if you win the bid). Like any insurance policy the insurance only covers specific situations and you'll have to see the full terms of the policy to see what is covered/not covered. Not sure about what insurance you have already purchased for your air ticket, but if purchased thru the online booking agency you purchased the air ticket from i would assume that other travel expenses (such as hotel) are NOT covered under your airline tix insurance policy, but you would need to see the terms of what you have already purchased to know for sure.If you're ready to bid again you can re-try as follows:Select 4* Champs Elysees and St Germain...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Eiffel Tower and OQE...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Eiffel Tower and St Germain...Bid $128, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champs Elysees and OQE...Bid $128, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champs Elysees and Eiffel Tower...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* St Germain and OQE...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champs Elysees and St Germain and Eiffel Tower...Bid $133, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champs Elysees and St Germain and OQE...Bid $133, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Eiffel Tower and OQE and Champs Elysees...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Eiffel Tower and OQE and St Germain...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Eiffel Tower and OQE and St Germain and Champs Elysees...Bid $138Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
