What kind of experiences have people who bought plane tickets for the name your own price on priceline had?

Question

i was thinking about doing the "name your own price" but i want to know how other people liked it? did you get good flight times? how low can you go?

Answer 1

The bad thing about name your own price is that you cannot control the airline you fly on or the time of day you fly.  I used it once and wound up with a flight that landed at 10:30 p.m.

Answer 2

My dad just got a ticket from Texas to Montana for under $300.  It was an ok flight time- 11am departure from DFW to ?, and he was ablt to actually change his return day somehow...(he flew Unitedf, it might be an airline thing.) ang got home to DFW at 11pm (stopped in Denver for 4 hour layover.)  But when traveling to Montana there aren't very many flight options.

He thought for sure they'd reject his low offer but he got it.  His friend paid over $700 for same flight.  It was 1 day prior to departure that he got the ticket.  Go as low as you want, you can always go up.
