(2) $139.80 total rt MIA--DCA 2/17--2/24

via nonbidding site, able to choose airline, nonstop, times

I have bid on hotel stays via your PRICELINE links, but never on airfare, so a few newbie Qs:

When bidding can I choose approximate times?

Could I have (significantly) beaten price above by bidding?

Is there an airline bidding FAQ thread here?

Did you already purchase the ticket above or is that the price you found while searching and are trying to beat it via bidding?

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

Already purchased.

Also, adding to previous Qs, does bidding allow one to choose nonstop?

[thereuare]

When you bid for airfare you agree to accept up to one connection.

Hard to say if you could have beat this by bidding, but my guess is probably not, and even if you could, the savings would likely not have been worth while to not be able to pick your flight times, layover city, and length of layover. Even when booking direct, if non-stop flights are available, i need to see some very significant savings to justify making a connection/stopover.
