Just wondering what people's experiences have been using this site? Buying some airline tickets. Normally I stick with Orbitz or the airline's actual site but the price I'm getting from Priceline is ridiculously cheap for what I want. :? Thanks.

    Look no further than this. If it's a good price and what you need, get it.

    I've had good experiences with it with hotels for Seattle. Got great rooms and great prices last minute with the name your price dealio. When you get a room it feels like you won something. :lol: So it's my go-to for hotels I guess you could say. Never tried with flights though. It's a stand-up company as far as I can tell. Just make sure you read all the fine print BEFORE you accept the flight. Not sure I'd use it for flights myself. Hotels all the way.

    I use it for hotels plenty - just be sure you are really going and that you know your city areas - you can't cancel your hotel once you've paid. I probably wouldn't use it for plane fare unless I had unlimited time. I've heard from others that you can get some terrible times - super late at night start or super early morning. But I've gotten plenty of great hotel deals via the priceline bid system.

    I never used them for airline tickets either, but never had issues with them when booking hotels!
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols
