stevee Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 It appears that the only 2 airlines that fly this route to Maui (without changing airlines) is United (conecting flights) and US Air (non-stop). Any idea which airline Priceline is most likely to give me?My guess is that since the United connecting flights are cheaper, that is the way they will go, but I don't know. Link to comment

stevee Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Bid $250 plus tax on PRICELINE for PHX-OGG for a Saturday/Saturday mid-Oct Itinerary. Total price w/ tax was about $325 ($75 in tax and fees).PRICELINE declined the offer and countered with a total fare of $425. The best price I can find is for United at $501. per round trip.I'm in no hurry so I plan to raise my offer in $10 increments and hope for something under $400.Any suggestions? Link to comment
stevee Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Finally.....I placed many bids that were gradually increased. Priceline continued with their $425 counter offer. Then when I hit $330 (plus $58 in taxes and fees) they said OK. The total price paid for a rountrip ticket (with 1 connection on United) from PHX to OGG was $388. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Can you list the itnerary you received including dates, times, connection cities and times... many others will be itnerested to know the flight times and connections, as that is the fear/downside to using the opaque providers for airfare. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

powerplantop Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Flight times don't look to bad. Tight connections and small planes between LAX and PHX. But may be worth it for the $avings. Link to comment
pauljaz1 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 FYI - Hawaiian Airlines also flies from PHX/HNL/OGGToday's airfares going for about $622 Total, so I think you made a great deal! Link to comment
