Used Priceline, pick your own times and got airfare for $123.85 with US Air

Leaving Phila to Orlando on 12/4 and returning 12/9. I got the times I wanted, 8:00am leaving Phila and leaving Orlando at 8:25pm. The same flights on the US Air website are $176.50!

Wow! That's a great price! I've always been afraid to use Priceline because I am afraid I'll get a redeye or some other horrible flight time. I may have to reconsider.

I did not want to use them to bid for airfare because you usually get the crummy times. But they have the feature now where you pick the times that they have listed, and they had a good selection of times. Last December I got airfare through USair for $116.50 and I figured I would not even get close to that this year with the cost of fuel etc, so when a co-worker told me he had seen the airfare for $123.85 I booked right away.

We are going the week before you and I have been looking. I'm now comparing because returning in the early morning would make us get a hotel close to the airport, but with that it is still cheaper!

Thanks for the heads up!!
