April 2005

Just wondering if anyone has booked for April yet. Haven't seen any winning bids on Bidding for Travel for that time yet. Priceline that is. Just chomping to get bidding, but not sure how soon to do it. would be glad to hear of anyones wins.

We usually go in April but are thinking of the whole March break/ Easter time frame instead. Are you going for a week- because if you are may I suggest Skyauction as opposed to priceline. From someone who has used both for my trips Skyauction will give you much nicer and bigger accomodations for the same price as a 2 1/2 star would go for and less than a 3 star would. If you really want to priceline it have you tried bidding yet because I know I have won hotels 5 months out.

I have looked at Sky Auction, but we ususally break our vacation and spend 2-3 days in DW area, 3-4 on the West Coast and the rest in the I-drive area. We may find something on sky Auction even for a few nights if the bids are not too high. Have never used it,but it does look tempting. If we were staying a week in Orlando, I would certainly consider it.

In that case you are better with priceline. The "bid per night" on skyauction are not a good deal. I just won Ramada Worldgate for the first 2 nights of our trip for $41/night. Seems the 3 stars are costing a little more than they used to.
