VictorVancouver Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hey Guys,Here's my latest purchase on priceline. The airline I was flying to New York cancelled my flight yesterday (Oct 1/06) and tried to put me on a flight 4 hours later. I would've have missed the first day of my conference so I had to beg for a different flight. They gave me a flight the day before, but would not give me a hotel room to make up for the inconvenience. So I booked a hotel on priceline hoping to get a good deal.My first bid was for a 2* at JFK for $60 (I've seen people get this before).Next I added flushing (no 2*'s) and bid $65.Then I added Long Island City and bid $70.Next I added Elmhurst and bid $75, it was accepted as the best western kennedy airport.Subtotal: $75.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $20.77 Total Charges*: $95.77 This is $25 cheaper than the best western website was offering at the time.Also, I used the savingsbarn.com link to PRICELINE.

VictorVancouver Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Horrible hotel, avoid it if at all possible. Might be ok if you want to have a snooze in between flights but not good for anything else! Link to comment
