I’m going back home to visit my folks for the July 4th weekend and I need a flight ticket quick. As always, I do the normal search from traveling sites such as expedia, orbitz, travelocity, etc. Once I know the lowest price, the trick to get 40% off is to check out Priceline Name Your Own Price.
The process is very simple and quick. You simply put in the price you want to pay for and the Airlines will compete for your business. For example, my flight ticket costs about $500. I put in $300 at Priceline Name Your Own Price. Speaking from personal experience, it works every time. You need to understand that once they agreed to your price, the ticket is non-refundable and they will charge your credit card right away. This also work for hotels and car rental too.
Here’s the fine print:
• Your airline tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-changeable.
• Your tickets will be round-trip, coach class tickets issued on one of Priceline’s partner airlines. You must fly on the flights assigned to you. Upgrades and standbys are not available. If you do not take your outbound flight, the airlines will automatically cancel the remainder of your reservation. If any part of the ticket is unused it has no value after ticketed departure time.
• Name Your Own Price tickets issued through Priceline are not eligible for frequent flyer miles. Priceline customers are protected by the same airline regulations extended to all passengers, including protection against overbookings and baggage loss.
• If we find an airline that accepts your price, we’ll immediately purchase your tickets using the payment information you provided.
• Remember to bring a valid government-issued photo ID with you to check-in.
