Priceline Airfare

[Zane_Anthony]

Has anyone pricelined their aifare? In particular out of DFW? How was it? Would you recommend it? I am not finding very good deals on the days I want Nov 17-25th or 26th. I am also considering driving.

I use PL a few times a year for hotels but have stopped using them for airfare unless it's very last minute travel (day before).
You have to figure out what is the max. amount you are willing to pay on PL for airfare while also taking into consideration the lack of knowing flight times, airlines, connections and lost milage plan miles...I'd rather pay $50-$75 more to have these options.
Have you checked out this website that gives airfare predictions http://www.farecast.com ? It's still in the beta phase but it might help if your city is in it's data base.

Good Luck...

Thanks! I am going to check out this site now.

You also give up all say on your schedule. So be prepared for LATE departures, EARLY departures etc.

It would not be uncommon to have a very LATE flight out of DFW and a crack of dawn flight out of MCO.

Thanks NHLFAN! That is an awesome site! It told me to wait to book flights for 10/6-10/9 from BUF. Thanks again! Angel
