I tried it on my upcoming CHA-LAX trip, which all four airlines serving Lovell Field show at $338 on Travelocity. Even giving it more flexibility than would be needed to reproduce that fare (two connections, and also willing to fly into Burbank), it couldn't find anything at any price. A search of a tentative ATL-LAS in December also revealed nothing under those same conditions, while expanding to 3 connections with props OK got me a quote of 259, only a slight improvement on Travelocity. (Gotta be the props--no sane airline would demand three connections from Hartsfield to anywhere domestic.... but then, I'm not real sure the assumption of sane airlines is valid.)

I see this the same way as I do Priceline--for airfares, you give up too much control. But I will consider them for hotels if the conditions parallel PL's (you specify a zone and a minimum quality).
