Priceline for Hawaii/Maui?

mauichick

Just wondering what people were bidding/scored and the risk I run if I book last minute (if my friend comes, hotel is set with points, if not, then i'm on my own and if i go priceline, nonrefundable)

www.biddingfortravel.com is one of the best sites for comparing priceline prices - i use it everytime i go for hotels from them.

Flights are tricky - make sure you go the day before since they can give you any time in a 12 hour window with a stopover somewhere...

Thanks,
I'll try there.
Flights didn't seem to be as good as hotels. My low bids kept getting rejected and i've found cheaper fares on other sites. I never travel same day as the show (SF taught me that, way too tiring to travel cross country and be up for rocking out, or maybe i'm just old)

I got a Round Trip flight from L.A. to Maui (supposed to make a connecting flight to Honolulu, but I'm skipping out on that)... Honolulu to L.A. (via San Francisco) for $416.00. Add the hopper from maui to Honolulu for $45.00, so, it's $471.00 for airfare from Orbitz.
Housing... friends on Maui... and either sharing a Hotel with friends or staying with friends or family. Push comes to shove... I got a rental car I can sleep in.

You should bring your friends and go to the Wishlist party at The Ale House

Yeah flights from LA are are reasonable, but I'm flying from Newark and there's a big range
