Priceline airfare price

[oceanik]

Hi,

Does the price you enter include the fuel surcharge tax, the airport tax, etc?

Assuming it's before taxes and fees, it's quite confusing...

Let me explain

I've seen for the same flight some fees ranging from $100 to $500+ ($420 of fuel surcharge!)

So should subtract to the price I want the highest fees?

i.e if I find a flight for $1500

company A = $1000 + $500 fees

company B = $1400 + $100 fees

If I want the total to be $1400 should I bid for $900 (so that if the fees are $500 I end up with $1400)?

company A = $1000 + $500 fees

company B = $1400 + $100 fees

Are you refering to the "Name Your Own Price" section of PRICELINE or the area where prices and flight times are shown?

Can you provide route and date examples of the above so that we can see exactly what you're seeing.

Hi!

I'm looking for a NYC (NYC) to Hong Kong (HKG)

There is Air Canada @ $965 ($555 + fees) - Regular price on their website

and Northwest @ $980 ($895 + fees) - Regular price on their website

So the price after all taxes and fees is the same but the price before all those taxes and fees is widely different.

In the "Name Your Own Price" I should put less than $555 so that after taxes/fees I end up paying less than the regular price?
