Pros: low price Cons: not low enough to be worth the hassle
When I first heard of priceline, I didn't think it was for me. But I was willing to check them out for my sister, when she wanted to fly to Chicago for under $150. She found out, too late, that there would be additional problems.
1) She...

Pros: cheap tickets Cons: VERY limited options if plans change -- even honest legitimate ones
I have used priceline.com in the past with their Gasoline service (before WebClubHouse closed) and was fairly pleased. I tried my hand with their flight reservations and let me tell you that it was not pleasant.
Priceline.com offers you the...

Pros: Cheap tickets Cons: Everything other than the price of ticket!
Priceline! UGH!!! The name alone makes me cringe! My girlfriend recently flew home to see me and, well, lets just say she will never be flying via a priceline.com setup anymore. Here is the nightmare that she endured:
She put in a bid for...

Pros: great low prices with recognized companies Cons: loss of control over your itinerary and accommodations
The ads say it all, you name the price! I have had incredible success with Priceline, for booking airlines and hotels for several trips. I always pay well below market rates for tickets and hotel rooms. And always with reputable, well-known...

Trying to get reasonably priced tickets to fly from PHl to LBB (Philadelphia, PA International Airport to Lubbock, Texas International, I immediately turned to Priceline.com. All the hype on the television commercials certainly didn't work for me....

Pros: Cheap Tickets Cons: You have to hand over your credit card info before seeing actual price.
I have tried to use Priceline a couple of times and have found it's really not for me at all. There are a few problems with it, the server is often busy, you have to wait for a while and hope that it worked right, and you have to trust them. I found...

Pros: low prices for nice hotel rooms Cons: no refunds
I chose Priceline because I've found myself that I can get pretty low rates at Hotels just surfing, and I'm not particular about what nice Hotel I stay in as long as it's nice.
Had it not been for Priceline, I would have called directly vs....

Pros: Cheaper fares. Cons: Can't make changes to tickets once purchased.
Priceline.com is a great service that allows you to try and bid on airline tickets (and many other services!). You can get quite a discount off the standard price, but there are a few things to keep in mind and watch out for:
1) You only get...

Pros: Easy to use Cons: It is a Con, once you pay-there are no options
Priceline.com web site is easy to use. I was able to get a low price fare and traveled within 24 hours. The downfall of this plan is that I was NOT able to select when and what airline I would travel. I also discovered I could not alter the flight...

Pros: Great pricing Cons: No time preferences
Priceline recommends that you offer the lowest price you can get on a discount category fare. My friends tell me they usually bid 10% below that price with good success. But I wanted to find out how low I could really offer.
I was trying...
