NYC to SEA anytime sooner - Need advice

[KavinR]

Hello BB Members,

Thank you for creating this forum to share knowledge on Priceline bidding tips. I'm a new member and looking for bidding/booking from any airport in New York area to Seattle in next 3-4 days.

I'm looking for ticket price around $160 which is what I paid in Southwest when I came from SEA to LGA 2 months back. I need to fly back as soon as possible but ticket price is in $160 range only on next Wednesday.

I wanted your advice on whether to bid in Priceline for next few days and what price should I quote given that tickets are priced at ~300$ now... Or if you have some suggestions on any other alternate option to book $160 range tickets in any time sooner from today would be great.

:D

Airfare is almost always more expensive if purchased just a few days before the flight, and i suspect that you purchased your inbound ticket at least a few weeks in advance.

If you can leave on the 19th i have found a flight that is $253 (USAir depature from LGA at 5:58pm). If this would work for your needs, how much of a discount would you need to make an opaque purchase worthwhile and leave before the Wednesday at the $160 rate?
