Priceline flights originating in Canada

Sorry if this was posted somewhere before.

Does anyone else get annoyed that you can't get flight from Priceline unless they originate in the States? I've always wanted to bid on flights coming out of Canada but they never let you do that. Did they used to? You can get flights on Hotwire, but I would like to try bidding on them to see if they would be cheaper.

Are all the Priceline sites like this? Do you have to originate from Europe on the European site? If so, I think that stinks. They're losing out on potential business by limiting that.

I wonder if they have a bunch of e-mails complaining about it, if they would start offering it. :)

I'm sure it's a regulatory thing (or some other limitation)... why wouldn't they want to offer flights originating from Canada?

I don't know, you're probably right. I just find it annoying that Hotwire can do it. What's the difference? You can't even get a flight on Priceline out of Canada, even if you're NOT naming your own price.
