I just managed to get ticket under $1000 and that was considered a good deal.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948701362537101656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260118906064618673.post-53890396289469395492010-07-11T16:12:17.486+09:002010-07-11T16:12:17.486+09:00What a nightmare -- BUT it will all be worth it in...What a nightmare -- BUT it will all be worth it in the end.

It's sort of the most mind boggling, completely nonsensical, superbly brilliant thing I've ever done. I waited too long buying my tickets to California (waiting until the week before) a few months ago. While having a fit at my boyfriend's house about trying to save money and spending an extra 200$ because I waited and 'no, nevermind, I'm not going to California, this is dumb', he told me to get on Priceline (where the lowest ticket price I could find was $400, a layover flight.). In the upper left corner, there was a button that says name your fare. A box pops up, asking how much you'd like to "auction" for your round-trip ticket. We typed in $75 and pressed Go. It thought for a moment, then said Sorry, too low. Try another price. We typed $150. It thought some more, then said "Hey! We found a ticket for $170, want that one?" And I click yes. It thinks a little bit more, then comes back and says "Oh no, someone JUST bought that one. The next cheapest fare we found was $250. Want that one?" So I click yes. And lo and behold, instead of paying $400, I paid $250. The conditions are it's non-refundable and that they pick your time and airline (which Justin says is all major airlines, never some small unknown). You get to pick the date and airports, though. I was blessed with good times, AA, and NO layover for a whole $150 cheaper than I originally found. <br /><br />I have no idea how they get away with such a thing, but it's sort of amazing. You can do it with hotels and car rentals too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260118906064618673.post-71498230489981899222010-07-09T04:42:29.243+09:002010-07-09T04:42:29.243+09:00I SO know how this goes.

That airport is weird - make sure you're not hungry when you go because their restaurants close at dinner time. Much to my dismay.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078230233348440413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260118906064618673.post-49061150066238835482010-07-09T04:15:40.371+09:002010-07-09T04:15:40.371+09:00As if you're not stressed enough!!

But hey, at least after you pay out the nose they are super rude to you the whole trip, so there's that. Hate. <br />Have a safe trip, and I'm really sorry you have to make it for such a sad reason.hip hip gin ginhttp://hiphipgingin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
