Pros: another option for travel; sometimes cheap prices
Cons: lots -- see the list in the article
Priceline created a mini-revolution with its introduction, and many airline "experts" predicted that Priceline alone could drive down *all* airline prices. However, Priceline now competes against the airlines themselves and is usually not the...

Pros: fun, cheap (if your offer is accepted)
Cons: sort of restrictive, you can't be sure you'll be traveling
Priceline.com is a very interesting company that operates on an interesting theory. Name your price and maybe you'll get it.
The company provides a simple system to make your offer, but to this day I still haven't been able to get any offers...

Pros: A five star hotel for the price of a roach motel
Cons: You don't know which hotel until your booked then it is too late.

Pros: cheap, helpful, friendly, courteous, easy
Cons: none
My husband and I flew to Tampa, Florida by using Priceline to purchase the tickets, which were half the price we had previously paid. The feedback from Priceline was almost immediate. My price was accepted. I chose electronic tickets and picked up...

Pros: Good prices
Cons: Prices used to be better.
Delta Airlines owns Priceline. It's a little known secret.
So how does that affect your ticket purchases?
Before Delta bought Priceline I was able to get tickets from NY to FL for $120-150 and the airlines varied. Since the...

Pros: Replies within 1 hr.
Cons: You are obligated at the time you name your price
I see there are plenty of satisfied and unsatisfied users of Priceline.
I think the major key to the division of epinions could be the expectation level of what you are looking for. I like the person that noted that Priceline should be...

Pros: Huge Money Saver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: Must have flexibility on flight times
I recently used Priceline.com's online service to purchase airline tickets. If you have your specific dates for travel and can be a little flexible in your departure and arrival times, this is absolutely the best way to go.
You...

Pros: easy to use, saves money
Cons: non refundable
I have used priceline twice now to book hotel rooms. The first time we were driving to Omaha and just needed a quick place to stop to get some rest and did not want to pay a lot of money to do that. I got on priceline.com and bid on a hotel room, I was...

Pros: Great price on great room.
Cons: Wouldn't want to count on it without backup
We had an excellent experience getting a hotel room in Tucson, Arizona, using Priceline. Most important to our success was the information shared by other epinion members in this section. After reading the information here and learning of the possible...

Pros: great savings on airfare and travel
Cons: one must be flexible to get a good price, you can't control your times, airlines or choices, can only resubmit if willing to change one of four parameters
I went on the long and fruitless hunt for cheap airfare from our small airport to Salt Lake City, Utah in anticipation of a work/vacation meeting. As I was also bringing my 16 year old son so he could ski I needed decent airfare. Well, I could not get...

Pros: Very Cheap
Cons: No Frills, Must be flexible,
My husband and I just planned a trip to visit family in Massachusetts the first week in March. We know that without months of advance notice we would probably be paying a little more than usual. So with our new Gateway Destination Computer(check review...

Pros: Cheap...sort of
Cons: TERRIBLE customer service
I am the type of person who believes that sometimes we JUST get what we pay for. With PRICE-LINE....I saved on money and lost out on Customer Service. I was very open minded to excepting a choice or two regarding my flight times into my destination on...

Pros: Got the flight arrangements I would have booked anyway, got F.F. miles, and a decent price
Cons: Couldn't change the flight arrangements
[All prices regarding airlines are for round trip fares.]
I was trying to find cheap tickets from Panama City, FL to Denver, CO for me and two friends for a ski trip. We were willing to make a few concessions to get these tickets, such as no...

Pros: delivered on promise-lower price for same product
Cons: all info have to submit
I recently used priceline.com for a hotel. Unlike air travel, a hotel room (assuming some quality level which priceline does) does not have the "direct flight", etc. hassles.
I looked for rooms around OAK airport--Holiday Inn,...
