Planning to Use Priceline Name Your Own Price For the First Time but Wary

[mark4myself]

I'm planning a trip to the Philippines from October 15th thru the 23rd. I had booked tickets last week but unfortunately cancelled them instead of contacting Priceline when I saw the fares drop from $1224 to $897 on my flight. Kicking myself for my rash cancellation rather than taking the time to contact them or review the best price guarantee first I've been watching non-stop all week to see if tickets will again drop below $1000. So far they have not and I'm now considering making a Name Your Own Price bid. Having never done it before I am a bit wary however in regards to layover time. I see on Domestic Flights they promise a cap at 3 hours but simply say layover times will vary on International Flights.

I'm hoping someone out there has some experience regarding International Flights and the Name Your Own Price option. I have some flexibility in my booking but would really rather not get placed on a flight where I have an overnight layover. Does Priceline cap the layover time on the International flights as well or do I run the risk of being in an airport for 20 hours?

Mark4myself, I am interested in a international flight and purchasing my ticket via Name Your Own Price. Did you end up using Name Your Own Price and if so how was your experience? What were your layovers like?
