I have used Priceline for a number of trips within the US. I love it. As you go through the bidding process with Priceline they will tell you how likely you are to receive your bid. Even if you low ball it you can go back in a few days later and make another bid.

Or you can clear your cookies file so it doesn't know you have been there and bid again right away.

Try 'Better Bidding' or 'Flyertalk' for more current advice from those bidding on that travel now

imo 534 sounds pretty fair. I would hate to see you miss that to maybe get another 75 off

I agree that 534 sounds good and if the flights are convenient, perhaps you should take it.

I recently found a new to me Priceline Bidding guide website. It is "TheBiddingTraveler" an intuitive website that will let you know what other people are getting on Priceline. Enjoy your trip. Hope you get a good deal.
