AaronJB Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Please provide your desired budget for airfare. Additionally, what kind of rate/s are you seeing for flights regular rate?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
shmoops Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Posted February 6, 2014 I wanted to spend about $250 per ticket at any of the airports nearby.I am seeing tickets in the 400+ range at full price.
thereuare Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 With capacity down and few empty seats on planes these dates, and this being a week when many public schools are on vacation, i think your chances of success are somewhat low; but airfare can be a hit-or-miss proposition so it's worth giving it a shot.When bidding on airfare you have an almost unlimited number of re-bids by using the technique discussed in this Priceline Airfare Re-Bidding thread (in particular pay attention to the second post in that thread). You can therefore start at ~$150/tix and then increase $5-$25 per re-bid, greater increments near the beginning when odds are the lowest and smaller increments as you get closer to your $250 limit and your odds have increased.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
