Priceline ?

[squitty]

Hi

We are interested in using Priceline for future holiday's. Our question is, do you wait till a couple of months before you go to try for a room, or do you try it as soon as you book your flights?
i.e. if you booked now for June 2003 would you try for a room now?

Hope this makes sense

Hi Michelle, although we are going to Disney in November we booked the traditional way.
We have booked again for April 2003 via Priceline (Easter) we paid £50 per night and got the Hilton Disney we are quite happy with that price for Easter. We however did not manage to get flights with priceline and have booked them with Travel agents.
Hope this helps.

I've used Priceline many times. I have booked as far as 10 months in advance and as little as 1 month. I have found that it doesn't seem to make much difference price wise but the hotels all release dates at different times and some think you're more likely to get something nearer the time. They are actually offering a £10 bonus per night if you book with the UK site before the end of October.

Beware Priceline is very addictive.
Good luck
