Priceline Hotel: Paris airport hotels?

[Kilrathi]

I'm trying to bid on a hotel at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on PRICELINE. I see that there are airport hotels listed on the Better Bidding Priceline list but when I click the name your own price link on PRICELINE, it takes me to the standard "pick a neighborhood" screen for Paris, which doesn't help since I need to be out by the airport for an early flight. Am I missing something? It looks like there's a $106 four-star hotel at CDG on HOTWIRE, so I'll go that route if need be but given that that's not a huge discount over what I'm seeing on PRICELINE's named-hotel listings, I'm wondering if I couldn't priceline into something cheaper if it's possible to do so. Any advice? I'll use the BB links to bid once I get this straightened out either way.

Thanks!

Can you please follow-up your previous Priceline London thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll comment regarding the above.

Sure, I just did that. Forgot to finish that one up, but I've posted the results on that thread just now.

Thank you for the follow-up, but it's unclear which service you used, can you please post another reply to your Priceline London thread with the additional info requested. Thanks!

In regards to searching for Charles de Gaulle, you're correct, that PRICELINE is not recognizing it as a separate region and defaulting to central Paris. However, you can "backdoor" it... after you're directed to the central Paris zones, click the PARIS AIRPORTS link that is given under the map on the right hand side of the page, which will then give you the option of selecting either CDG or ORY.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.
