Has anyone used Priceline.com to bid on airfare?

$450 seems to be the going rate right now, so go lower. The one good thing about bidding on Priceline is that you can go lower and re-bid if too low. Try $250 and head up. Be warned that Priceline includes a service fee, so be aware of that when bidding...for instance $250 inclusive of the fee. It's more difficult these days because the airlines are filling flights because they've cut back in service to eliminate empty seats.
