Bidding for flights to Chicago this weekend

[cllvgm]

I'm going to try to bid on roundtrip tickets from Tampa area to Chicago leaving October 19 and returning October 21. We are prepared for inconvenient flight times and one stopover. I would like to try to keep the total amount per round trip air ticket at $300.00 or less as we also will probably need to get a hotel room and possibly rent a car for the short time we are there which depends on when we arrive/depart and where we end up staying. I'll see if I can get tickets first and then plan accordingly. I have read and saved the bidding tips. Thank you for the good information. I'd like to try bidding several times without having to wait 24 hours using the strategies you all have posted. If there are any thoughts/suggestions/tips I certainly would appreciate them. Thank you for responding to my earlier question about airport transportation. I will use the links from this website for sure.

Did you specifically see the Priceline Re-Bidding on Airfare thread?

What are current rates for this route?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
