Hi, does anyone know if you use priceline and they search for a ticket and find you one, you are obligated to go? Im not sure why they ask for the credit card number otherwise; any ideas? Thanks!

Yea, you're obligated to buy it if they'll give it to you at or below the price you offer. As long as your travel plans are flexible, it should be fine. And by flexible, I mean that although you can chose the dates of your flight, you can't chose how many layovers etc. so you might end up on a trip that takes 10-12 hours on a flight from, say, florida to colorodo, which if it was a direct flight would only take 3 hours or whatever. If you want to be able to pick a direct flight, I'd reccomend checking out Southwest or one of the other cheaper airlines out there.

Even though they have somewhat limited destinations, I highly recommend JetBlue! 👍 Very good prices, leather seats and free direcTV at every seat 😀

priceline isnt always the cheapest. cheaptickets.com or other places are sometimes cheaper. anyway if you offer a ridiculously low price ($1) then youre obviously not going to get the ticket but they might give you a line-up of flights and prices to choose from. try not to check any bags. just take the biggest carry-on possible along with a big lap-top bag if you need it. they actually lost my bag (that i had checked) once. it was a nightmare.

Jet Blue is awesome and many locations. Just got a ticket to Washington from LA for an interview for $99 each way.
