Help getting to London

[bears1]

I am new to Priceline idea. Looking to go from Orlando to London 6/14 - 6/24. I'd like to get 2 roundtrip airfares, for $1200 TOTAL. What is my best bet as to a bid and do I have a shot?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

What is the price of a traditionally booked ticket for these dates and what is the breakdown of base rate + fees/taxes?

Currently the full price I'm getting from US Airways, is $1033 roundtrip. That is $892 base price + $141 taxes/fees. (Other carriers are in same ballpark) I've printed some of the bidding "instructions" from this site, trying to read and learn. After reading, I'm figuring on bidding $500 base price. That puts me at $641 with taxes,etc. That would be as high as I want to go.

I'm guessing that $500 won't be enough as airfare deals at nearly 50% savings are hard to come by in the current environment... but you can try, and using the techniques in Priceline Airfare RE-Bidding you can start at ~$400 and increase $10-$25 per re-bid until you hit your maximum bid.

Let us know how it goes (success or failure) or if we can be of further help.

Florida to London? April 3 or later for about 7 days... any suggestions? Any departure city and any arrival city will do.
