Has anyone ever booked a flight thru Priceline's Name Your Own Price? IF yes, how was your experience?

Question

I am nervous about trying this because I do not want to get a flight that will depart or arrive at some unreasonable hour. We are traveling with 2 boys. Has anyone ever tried this? Did you get a good fare? Thanks !

Answer 1

Yes and your fear is well founded. I have booked several times and have gotten a good schedule and some really bad ones, 9 hour layovers on really long flights. If you are traveling with children, I recommend getting a fixed schedule from one of the other sites--go to http://www.kayak.com for price quotations.

Answer 2

Well its kinda goes both ways with the name your own price. I've got a good deal on a flight to Atlanta and then i got a really bad one to Orlando so it's really just how much you are willing to give. Now i wouldn't do the Priceline thing if you need to be there at a certain time or something like that. But if your tight on cash its the way to go.
