Anyone used Priceline.com for UK flight?
Looking to go to UK next summer and everything I am finding is way over my budget. Everything I've seen has been over $1000. Anyway i had a look at Priceline and I dunno if I am using it wrong, but it's coming up with a flight "offer" in July for $250 return, that's with taxes. This seems too good to pass up.
I know roughly how it works. They don't tell you what airline you are flying with or what time you leave...until you hit that button that charges your credit card. There are no refunds. Am I missing something or are there other risks involved? I am not bothered about what airline it is. I would apreciate any feedback from folks who have gone with priceline or something similar.
Cheers.

I used it once for a trip from UK to USA. It was a good deal. I had no problems, just the slight annoyance that you don't have a choice of when you leave. If you have airmiles you probably wont be able to earn on the priceline flight.

I only used them for cars, but not anymore.

I've used them 4 times. Once got Air Canada, once Air France, once Swissair, and the best, a direct Virgin flight. Been a couple of years since I used them, though.

Just a suggestion.
