priceline for plane tickets?

[shpdem]

Has anybody ever used pricelines name your own price for airline tickets? If so what flight times did u get?

It's been years, but I have probably used Priceline for airfare at least a half-dozen times. Usually we "won" the late flight TO Orlando (arriving around 11pm) and one of the early ones home (like 6am flights). Frustrating to "lose" two days to travel, but worth it if cheap airfare was the only way to afford the trip.

Thats what I was afraid of, I don't have enough days to lose 2 days

I actually just used it last week to book a VERY last second trip to WDW so that I could take my oldest DD to the 24 hour event. We started bidding on airfare on Wednesday and after a few tries, they ended up offering us a price that was okay enough to take. So after then booking a resort and booking ME, we were off on a 36 hour adventure the next day.

We did end up with an afternoon (leave SYR at 3:45 pm and land in MCO at 8:21 pm) flight to Orlando and then an early morning flight (leave MCO at 8:35 am and landi in SYR at 1:46 pm) back home both on Delta. Looking back, I would have probably added an extra day to our reservation to account for the late/early flight times taking away from our Disney time.
