Bid Assist MCI-SEA

[Marksbebe]

The lowest fare is $288 on Northwest. Or $303 thru United. I would like to try Priceline but have not used it for airfare before. I don't want more than one stop and understand that I will not know flight times or airline until completed and successful bid. The most I am willing to pay for ticket through priceline bid is $200. I would really like it to be closer to $150. That may be unrealistic, I don't know. I need 3 tickets. My days can be flexed one or two days. We need to be there by the 18th and the soonest we can fly back is the 20th since we will be attending a wedding on the 19th. Thank you for any help you can offer.

How much are taxes for this route (when including one stopover)?

[Marksbebe]

taxes and fees are $60.25/person r/t

I don't think that $303 fare (northwest?) is bookable.

I just found it on Travelocity"]Travelocity i went thru the steps and before giving credit card info i got the message "Sorry, Fare Has Changed" (or something like that)

Have you confirmed that the fares you first quoted above are bookable?

the fare on northwest when i looked earlier today is $298 and some change including taxes and fees. i went to the step of finalizing the booking.

I just checked United's website and the total is $298 inc. taxes and fees booking through them directly. BTW, I used Northwest's website also. I have found the best prices going directly to the airlines website.

So with time on your side i would subtract the taxes/fees and throw down a couple of bids... first near your $150 goal, then $175, then $200.

I already checked HOTWIRE and they don't have anything close.

Let us know how it goes.

If you do end up booking direct please keep in mind this board is an affiliate of UNITED AIRLINES as per our SUPPORT PAGE.
