kwinkelm Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Using our Airfare Checker what is the best rate you're able to find for this route?What is the breakdown between ticket cost and taxes/fees?How much would you need to save to make an opaque purchase worthwhile?The best price I have been able to find is $950 roundtrip including taxes. The taxes through the opaque purchase on Priceline are $70. I am looking to go to a max of $650 without taxes on Priceline. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 See this Priceline Airfare Re-Bidding thread as to how to get multiple bids when bidding on the same flight.I'd start at about $450 (most likey way to low, but you can start higher if you're busy and would rather not waste the few extra minutes) and increase $25 per bid until you get to $650.Please use this Priceline Airfare link or the one in my signature to begin your bidding.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

kwinkelm Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks, with regard to the rebidding, I don't think Seattle has any nearby airports like the example (New york). So does the rebidding principle still apply to my example? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 You can search first using Seattle, then if rejected try again with Tacoma, if that is rejected try again with Kent, etc, etc... each time choosing 'SEA' when presented the airport location(s).

Sailingtruen Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hello all,I'm newly registered to board, but had great success booking hotels in San Antonio recently based on information here. We're trying to plan a trip to Thailand (or Costa Rica) and plan to bid. Some flights though are up to 45 hours to Bangkok! What are the chances of getting stuck with something like that? Thanks and great site! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 ...had great success booking hotels in San Antonio recently based on information here.Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding! and thanks for the compliments on the board.However, one of the things which makes this board so great is the availability of information by users helping users. It would be appreciated if you shared your future wins with the board so that others can benefit from the information, just as you have benefited from those who posted before you.Some flights though are up to 45 hours to Bangkok! What are the chances of getting stuck with something like that?I'm not sure of actual time in the air on this route, but the following chart should give you an idea of average/longest possible layover, which is probably you're biggest concern on this route:Priceline Guide to Average and Longest Layover TimesPlease use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
