Is Sidestep safe? It looks very cheaper, maybe better than priceline?

The Washington Post did an article comparing the different online booking services in Sunday's travel section, and Sidestep came out fairly well. A good article all around.

The last time I used sidestep, it was just a pricing search engine. Priceline is totally different (blind bidding) -no comparison to sidestep! Has something changed??

xxx is correct. I have seen priceline stacked up as one of the best budget travel spots on the internet. I love sidestep lets you know right away what other deals might be out there. Liked it better when you did not have to click search to get numbers.

Sidestep is good for one point of reference. However, I found a ticket (Delta)toOrlando the other day on Expedia for $90 less than sidestep, travelocity, orbitz orDelta wasshowing.Travelocity won't have SWairline flts, either.Always check 4-5 places for best deals and keep going back.
Priceline is for bidding, much different
