Success stories with airfare are much rarer than with hotels, especially nowadays. When you bid with Priceline, you run the risk of getting horrible schedules that you would never choose, and the savings lately are minimal.

Try flying to the cheapest possible place in Western Europe and then a low cost airline to Florence !

Or a low-cost airline to Pisa (easy to get to Florence by bus or train), or Rome (easy transfer by train), or Bologna (easy by train).

Well I am still looking. If anyone knows of any good sites please let me know. I really like the flexible fare searches. It's a shame Travelocity doesnt offer them for international fares anymore. Ciaooo
