ATL Atlanta --> LAX Los Angeles

[liveonboca]

I booked in January 4 tickets to LAX from RSW via ATL for $186 each on Delta, so we are all set to leave this week.

Now comes my oldest daughter, 21, in college who at first could not go, but now can and WANTS TO GO TO LOS ANGELES!

I looked at all the discount travel sites and was getting rates for flights from $500 to $800 RT or so from ATL (where my daughter is in college).

Tonight, I started my bidding on PRICELINE, at $250 to LAX, I automatically received a notice that if I increased my bid to $369 I could get a ticket, I did not fall for that, so I kept rebidding with $10.00 increments, adding Orange County, Ontario, Burbank, Long Beach. Then I increased my bid to $300 by including the red eye option.

Finally, the $300 was accepted (with tax $341) for ATL-IAH-LAX with very short layovers via Continental and NOT red-eyes. She leaves at decent times (11am from Atlanta, and on the return, 2:45pm from LAX).

When I went on the Continental site, that flight is their lowest fare at $829!

Thank you PRICELINE and Better Bidding!
