Priceline - Caribbean?????
 
Hi---just wondering if anyone has ever done a priceline bid outside the US? I've bid and have been successful in the U.S. but have never tried anything else. Thought I'd post here before trying. Thanks!

Check out biddingfortravel.com. It seems like others are getting deals through Priceline to the Caribbean.

If I read Priceline's "fine print" correctly, they don't promise to get you to your destination on the same day you leave for non-domestic itineraries.

This would appear to mean you could get stuck overnight somewhere en route to the Caribbean (and/or on the way back).

This is the reason I've only used Priceline within the continental US.

Am I crazy, or does anyone else interpret their rules the way I do?

cdt: I'm guessing that you're talking about non-domestic airflights? I don't know 'cus I've never bid for a flight thru priceline. I actually posted my question re: lodging only. But it would be interesting to see if that is true concerning airflights.

Last year I used Priceline for the Westin resort in St. John. I got it for $75 a night. You should definitely check out the Caribbean message boards on biddingfortravel.com to read about other people's winning bids with Priceline.
