Priceline Plane Tix Question

[x5x5x5x5x5]

I have never ordered airline tix through Priceline. I am planning on traveling in late June/early July. Does anyone know if I'd be better off trying to get them now . . . or wait until closer to the dates of travel? Thanks so much in advance!!!

I have never used Priceline for airfare, but I have used them several times for hotels. The only advice I can give you is to check out Bidding For Travel before placing your bid to see what bids have been accepted in recent months. Have you also checked out Hotwire? They tell you how much the flight will be, but does not give airlines or travel times until after ticket purchase.

I would start trying now. We got our tickets thru Priceline 10 months in advance for our trip, and paid $115 round trip for 4 tickets from Fort Smith. I also took out the $10/ticket insurance, just in case.

We are going to WDW in September and I purchased our tickets through Priceline 6 months ago. Before bidding I read everything I could at Bidding For Travel and learned a lot from that site before making my bid and winning airline tickets and hotel reservations. I would begin bidding now for airline tickets instead of waiting till the last minute. Good luck with your bidding.

I would start now. I've used Priceline twice with great success. I would check out sites such as Hotwire.com, Expedia.com, Travelocity.com, etc. & then make a slighly lower bid than the lowest price you saw. Example:the lowest price I found last fall was around $150(Austin, TX to Orlando). I bid $130 & got it! I feel pretty good about that price. Good luck!
