How does Priceline's 'name your own price' work?

Trip to mississippi from cali, does priceline work ? name ur own price?

  • Answer:

    Don't use price line for air travel.........especially if you need to be some where at a specific time.....the other poster hit it on the nose......they can put you outbound or inbound at some awful hours............consider this..... One site may be slightly lower than another but the supply and demand economic rule applies to all financial transactions…..make your purchase on reliability and common sense……what will work for you…….and……..your travel requirements…..always use trusted and ethical travel sites…….yahoo travel…….orbitz……travelocity……expidea or club type membership….AAA or AARP. Take a moment to make sure a cheap ticket is worthwhile and reliable……..I can’t recommend any one site…….its up to you to search and decide what is right for you. If you see what appears to be a good deal … grab it…don’t worry if the price goes up our down a little bit next week……

The Name Your Price feature can work but know the fine print. You need to know that you don't get to select the airline or flight times. Also if you cancel, you lose out on all the money you pay. No travel credit is given and you are not allowed to change your itinerary. Also you may get inconvenient flight times or long connections. However the plus side is that you may be able to get pretty good deals. As for why airfare to MS is less than NY, the reason is because there is a lot of competition among airlines flying from CA to NY. Therefore with competition and lots of discount airlines flying those routes, ticket prices are lower. There are not a lot of choices flying into MS and therefore ticket prices are higher.
