Priceline Review

I admit when I was traveling on my own and I didn't care about time, but I cared about the costs, make a offer on Priceline usually got me where I wanted to be for about the price that I wanted to pay.  I have used Priceline for airfare, hotels, and car rental reservations and find that normally my results are hit or miss for satisfaction. 

I am most satisfied with Priceline's make an offer on hotels option, I can designate a specific star rating and area where I want to stay. I have stayed in New York, DC and San Francisco at places like the Westin, Marriott and Hyatt for at times under 50.00 a night.  Now that makes me happy. 

However, if you have to know more about your travel plans before you make them Priceline works much like Expedia or Travelocity with prices and airlines listed, you don't make an offer you just choose you airfare and book your flight. 

I admit that the majority of my success has been on Priceline. I did manage to get a great last minute airfare for my parents to travel from Dayton to Houston (next day as a matter of fact) with a price they were very happy with. But now that I travel with children making an offer is out of the question, as my times for flights are pretty limited and need to know all the facts before I buy! 

Forget the package deals on there they are always higher priced than an individual booking or even package pricing on other sites.

Overall, using Priceline can sometimes make you very very happy, and other times make you wonder why you even wasted your time.  Word of caution, if you make an offer, make sure you wait for your offer's answer before you take time to place any other reservations or deposits and make sure you know all you need to know about travel. If you "break it" you buy it on Priceline.
