jayshar Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I tried bidding tonite on a round trip airline tickets from Houston to Orlando using the PRICELINE link (from here) I started at $100 per ticket (2 needed) =$266 with taxes/fees went up to $306 including taxes. Each bid declined.The going rate right now is $238 per ticket, any suggestions of getting a lower priced ticket? :)

jayshar Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Here are the fees for the $238 rate which is the going rate now with all the airlines.1 Adults (age 18 to 64) $218.00 Additional Taxes/Fees $19.70 Total Price $237.70
thereuare Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 How much of a savings do you need to make an opaque airline tix worthwhile? (ie- the tradeoff for not choosing your flight times, layover cities, length of layover, etc) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
jayshar Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 After reading your response I realized the tradeoff wasn't worth it. I just waited and the airfairs drop this week, so just purchases two tickets $218 each directly from the airline.Thanks for you help.
