Do people not use Priceline for flights?

[atl]

I am new to Priceline and bidding with priceline and after looking through this site, most if not all of the posts are for hotels. Is there any advice for bidding on airfare? Thanks for your time!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

There isn't much airfare bidding because:

-with planes at or near capacity, the discounts usually aren't that great (although this will likely eventually change as the business cycle changes as capacity grows and flights have more empty seats)

-you need to be very flexible since you can't choose your departure/arrival times and/or connection cities (or time between flights)

-it's always easier to fly non-stop, and with PRICELINE bidding you need to be willing to accept a connection

I'll add that priceline airfare retail doesn't charge any booking fees, so they shoudl be included in a search for airfare (and are now included in our Airfare Checker)

If you need help with bidding on airfare you can post in the OTHER DEALS>>AIRFARE section of the board.
