Hotwire beat the lowest price I could find for Thanksgiving time on TWA. The site seems too "Priceline-ish":

Less convenient is that you don't know the airline or the particular time of the flights selected until you purchase the ticket. Tickets are non-refundable, non-changeable, non-upgradeable, and don't earn airline mileage. Participating airlines at this time are AA, HP, CO, NW, UA, & US.

But the cons are a little too high for me. No upgrades or miles, along with no knowledge of travel times is a big detractor for me.
