Airfare bids

[cybershopping1]

When I place a bid on Priceline for airfare, does the bid include taxes, fees, fuel charge, etc. or just the airfare and the "extras" are added on after the bid.

It depends upon the route.

For domestic travel the bid price does not include taxes and fees.

For international travel the bid price does include taxes (but a booking fee is added on)

I'm not sure about travel to Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, etc.

To confirm at the time of your purchase, if you enter your dates, bid amount, name, etc. on the next page (before you enter any credit card information) it will show you the total cost if your bid were to be accepted (you have to scroll down the page a bit). The line after your bid amount will show "Taxes and Fees" or simply "Fees".

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
