You have to be flexible to use Priceline. That's why it's cheap.
Priceline told you before you placed your bid that the tickets are non-refundable.</font>
It appears that you completely miss the point,
JS.
In the case described by
B747-437B, he agreed to the Priceline conditions; Priceline accepted his offer, took his money, and confirmed a flight. B747-437B then planned his schedule around the flights that Priceline confirmed.
Now the airlines make it impossible for Priceline to fulfill their commitment. Priceline should obviously either offer a refund, or offer alternative flights that provide transportation in the same time period to which Priceline had previously committed.
