Hmmm...my skyauction transaction was painless. I bid on a British Midland one way, got a decent price (though higher than the 16 pound london-dublin fare a friend bought two weeks later), got the date and flights I wanted without hassle.

I even managed a "bump" and now have a 75 Irish Punt voucher to use by next March 1.

Plus--a whole 250 CO miles for the British Midland flight!

Now, I did get my flights about two months prior to my trip...perhaps the advance helped.
