Edwin_E Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 If I tried to book a hotel in the ATL Airport area could I rely on a shuttle bus? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Although most hotels in the Airport zone will offer a shuttle, this is not a guaranteed amenity to be included in the airport zone. If you require a shuttle i would suggest using PRICELINE EXPRESS or HOTWIRE and choosing a hotel that lists a Shuttle amenity. Are both the North and South Airport zone acceptable or only one of these? What are the dates of your stay, desired budget (per nite before fees/taxes), and minimum star rating? Any other requirements than an airport shuttle? Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. PS- Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.

Edwin_E Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I do not care for a particular Zone as I will arrive late (11pm) on Feb 3rd and leave in the morning of Feb 4th - that's why a shuttle would be nice! If the room is clean and has a shower that is all I need - a free breakfast would be a nice to have. Maybe 2,5 or 3 stars??? If I could get this for 70 USD that would be nice Link to comment
Edwin_E Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 One more question: I wouldn't mind "gambling": if I win a 3 star hotel at priceline (Name your price) isn't the chance to get a shuttle pretty high? Link to comment

thereuare Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 If you decide you'd prefer to try bidding on PRICELINE, let us know if you'd first like to try for a 3* up to your maximum bid price OR if the goal would be the least expensive 2.5* or better... we will then suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Edwin_E Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I would go give it a try bidding for a 3* first - on priceline express the difference between 3 and 2.5 is just 4 $ ... and if I cannot get a real good deal , I can still go for the express deal. Will use your link and let you know my "result" Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Assuming both the Airport South and Airport North zones are both still acceptable i would bid as follows... When bidding 3* in this region you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. Select 3* Airport North and Airport South Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $70 Any questions feel free to ask (especially confirming your re-bid zones if you're new to the subject or unsure) Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding. 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 Link to comment
Edwin_E Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just for the record - tried all this and they didn't accept any - stopped at 70 I am not in a rush - might try again in a couple of days Or is your experience that prices will not go down? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 There is no way to know. Prices could go down (although there's likely little room to the downside from these levels), but they can also very easily go up. As demand has risen in recent years, there's been more instances of prices heading higher as the dates get closer than lower. Additionally, when you're getting to $70, why not take the PRICELINE EXPRESS options in the mid-$70's that have shuttle as a listed amenity? Thank you for keeping us updated on what you decide.
