Oh do I have a story about Priceline and how naive I was!
My kids and I went to visit my mom in FL and I bid on PL. The fares were really cheap! Our flight down was fine (Newark to Atlanta, ran through the airport with the 3 of them, ages 9, 8 and 6) to catch our connecting flight. We had shipped our clothing down previously so only had backpacks to worry about. On the way home, however, was a different story. We left RSW in the evening, were supposed to fly to Covington KY but were rerouted to Cincinnati OH and flew home on the SMALLEST plane EVER! (I swear there was only 20 seats in the whole plane!) Thank goodness we had a car service to pick us up because we landed in Newark around 1 AM.
I was a bit scared when I saw the times on my returning flight but it all worked out in the end, and it is now a great story to tell.
So now I know to check the times because cheap fare might not be worth it!
