Canada2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 I am curious about how some results have been for bidding on Priceline for airfare. Done three times for hotels in Chicago but never tried airfare.I would probably do Tuesday to Sunday. Airfare is running us anywhere from $435 and up for return from Toronto with Air Canada and Westjet. Not sure about finding anything less at all. How much less would it possibly be bidding?
thereuare Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 See this Priceline Airfare Re-Bidding thread which will show you how to get an almost unlimited number of re-bid zones. You can start at about 50% and then increase your bids between $5-$25 per re-bid depending upon how close you are to a realistic bid.However, keep in mind that with airfare capacity down there are typically fewer empty seats on any given flight and more planes are running at nearly full capacity then ever before, so discounts on airfare are not nearly as deep, or as easy to come by, as the discounts we see on hotels and cars. (and you often give up a lot on airfare... needing to agree to up to at least one connection, not knowing your layover cities or length of layover, etc)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know any questions you have and/or how it goes or if we can be of further help.
