MatkailijaLpr Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 The final part of my London trip. Decided to get an airport hotel in order to make the morning flight without the 'excitement' sometimes caused by delays on the underground. Based on earlier wins reported on the board started the bidding at $44, rejected the offer to increase to $51, added Luton and won at $46:Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$46.00 Subtotal: US$46.00 Taxes & Service Fees: US$14.37 Total Charges: US$60.37 Used the PRICELINE link to start the bidding.

MatkailijaLpr Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Posted May 17, 2009 Just for fun I calculated the rack-rate cost for the whole trip using non-refundable advance purchase rates from the hotels own web sites: the stays at Holiday Inn Camden Lock (4 nights), Copthorne Tara (2), Marriott West India Quay (2) and Crowne Plaza Heathrow (1) totalled 902 GBP which equals approx. 1370 USD.Using PRICELINE combined with the information from Betterbidding the total cost came up to 792 USD i.e. 578 USD savings (42%) whilst staying in good hotels with TripAdvisor ratings ranging from 3.5 to 4.5. Needless to say, the savings will be used on travelling. :) So once again thanks to you and all the people who are contributing to the board.
