Does Priceline really sell you at your own price?

Question

Let's say I want to go to Caracas, which costs around $800 from San Diego. Could I get a ticket for around $400?

Answer 1

I did it a year or so ago, it worked great. I got a $300 ticket for $200. Be reasonable, but bid low. They'll tell you beforehand like the earliest/latest scheduled arrivals departures, and if you're good to go with that, I'd reccomend it. If fare is your highest concern, then it is worth a shot.

Answer 2

You can but I wouldn't.. Most of the time you don't even know the flight information. You could have an overnight or a multi day layover somewhere.. I think I would rather just pay the more expensive price to make sure that I would be able to et good flight times

Answer 3

You can try. I have rented cars through Priceline at a good rate. Never bought an airline ticket from them, though. But if they decline that price, you can always try again later, so nothing to lose!

Answer 4

Look around on different websites, print out the cheapest, then bid with Priceline....don't go too low, they like to see negociation...
