j38129 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Somewhere in my brain I recall seeing Priceline saying that for short stays, you would be guaranteed a certain amount of time "on the ground" (between the arrival time of your inbound flight and the departure time of your outbound flight). In other words, if you booked in on Friday and out on Saturday, you would be guaranteed not to be on the last flight in Friday and the first flight out Saturday. I can't seem to find that guarantee anywhere on the site now. Can anyone help me recall if that's still the case and what those minimum time windows are? Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I looked for this same info about a month or so ago and could no longer find it the their website.Not sure if this 'rule' is still in effect and just not listed in their help site or if this no longer applies.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

scottlevin Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 http://travelb.priceline.com/promo/hotelpa...vebig&rdr=2I used Google. It was the 3rd thing that came up. The first was this post. HAHAFor airfare, you can pick your specific airline and flight, or for bigger savings, you can let The Negotiator book you on one of his deeply discounted flights on a major airline. When booking a Priceline Negotiator Flight for a short trip, we make sure to maximize your time on the ground; our "Playtime Guarantee" ensures you will have at least 44 hours on the ground at your destination for two-night trips and a minimum of 64 hours on the ground for three-night trips. That way you'll have plenty of time to relax or play! Link to comment
