OK, first off; I am not employed by Priceline.com nor any of it's competitors, nor own any stock in this industry. That said, here's my question "Why does one buy anything on Priceline, where you cannot cancel your ticket, nor have control your flight?"
I have been in line at the Delta Check-in Desk, and have seen families bumped because they bought a non-'Y' class airline ticket on Priceline. Posters here have complained about the inability to cancel their reservations.
I have used expedia.com (owned by Microsoft) for years, and have consistently gotten great fares (exactly the same fare as Travelocity), but can chose my flight and even pick my seat. I have never been issued anything other thatn a full 'Y' class ticket, so my seat on the flight is assured. Furthermore, I can cancel my reservation at will.
What is it with Priceline? Is William Shatner that good of a spokesman?
