cowboy hat girl Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Need to find a hotel near LaGuardia (early morning flight out). What area do I bid in?
WillTravel Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Enter New York City as your city.You will get a list of all the zones in NYC, but these aren't what you want.Scroll further down the page and you will see New York Airports.Click on that, and it provides you two separate zones - JFK and LGA.
cowboy hat girl Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Posted September 15, 2003 Thanks willtravel, I didn't scroll down past the first map. Any recommendations on what to bid for 3*?
thereuare Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 You could also use Airport Codes in lieu of the city name. So in this instance, putting LGA directly into the Hotel Name space would bring you to the New York Airport options.Please supply the dates of your stay for a recommended starting bid.

cowboy hat girl Posted September 16, 2003 Author Report Posted September 16, 2003 Looking for 10/4.Thanks.
thereuare Posted September 16, 2003 Report Posted September 16, 2003 How much are you anticipating spending?Relatively speaking, this is not an inexpensive area and it may pay to consider a 2.5* property.What is your limit for a 3 star hotel?

cowboy hat girl Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Posted September 17, 2003 I am going to Shea for the Springsteen concert that night, and have an early flight in the morning. I bid $67 this morning for the 3* and was rejected. Would be willing to go 2.5* too.I noticed that prices on Hotels.com started at $115 for the Wyndham Garden which I think is a 2.5*, and works for me. Just need to know what to bid.
thereuare Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 Yes, i doubt that would be successful for a 3* in this area.I would start 2.5* bidding at $60.Let us know how it goes. :)PS- looks like you've got a Meeting Across the River (currently my favorite Spruce song) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
cowboy hat girl Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Posted September 17, 2003 Just found out a friend bid $60 and was countered with $77 which she took and got the Wyndham Garden. I know there is a trick to countering somewhere on here. I'd appreciate any help.BTW, I'll be bidding thru SavingsBarn.com :)
thereuare Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 If that was the counter, i would try $65 with the knowledge that you may have to try again in 72 hours (assuming that's ok with you).

cowboy hat girl Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Posted September 17, 2003 $65 wasn't accepted, they countered with adding $17. Tried to put in $70 and it wouldn't take. Will try Friday. :)
thereuare Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 I'd raise your bid by $2-3 after each waiting period, but try to hit $70 if you're rejected after the next waiting period.Thanks for the update.
