This is why Priceline is such a ridiculous notion. you have to be pretty desperate to save a buck, to let anyone take your money upfront and THEN put you on any airline or any hotel at any time, without any possibility of saying NO. Never gonna use them until they change those ridiculous rules.

What AOM is doing is, I think, much better. They are saying, we have empty seats on this flight, on this date, how much are you willing to pay us to get on?
