Should I trust Priceline to get me from Rochester, NY to Madrid by a very specific date?<BR>Thanks.

John

It's not Priceline that will get you there, but the airline that you hold the ticket on. There may be a couple of stops en route but those will add hours, not days.

By a date yes--not a specific time of day ON that date. You might do a search on the normal sites and see what kind of connections you may be looking at--I would imagine through NYC so it shouldn't be too complicated.

Go to www.biddingfortravel.com, read everything they have about airline bids and Priceline in general. <BR><BR>One caution about airline bidding is that you have to be flexible about the times. Read very carefully about the wiggle room they give themselves regarding arrival and departure times; if you need to arrive "on" Tuesday, July 16, I believe they allow themselves to get you there by 2 AM on Wednesday, July 17, or some such. <BR><BR>I'd strongly recommend that you tell them that you need to arrive on the date before the date you really need to be there!

I just got round trip airfare from Raleigh to Paris (1st week Sept) for $400 plus tax/fees on Priceline. It is a Delta flight with a reasonable itinerary. I could be wrong, but I think that most flights going to Europe leave in the evening and arrive the next morning anyway. I've used them several times and have had good luck.
