> i.e. is there a reserve price?

According to the docs, if there is a reserve bid it will be marked with an symbol (a small block with R inside) - none of the trips currently listed have a reserve.

> whether you are guaranteed to get a seat on the flight(s) of your choice

From the website:
What happens if I have the winning bid and the dates I
choose aren't available?
Sky: We will always work with you to offer the best possible
alternatives to satisfy your date preferences. Many of these
offerings are what industry types would call "capacity controlled"
However, they are generally available as outlined by us. If we
can not fulfill your request for any reason you will be refunded for
your total bid paid amount.


This is why I'd like to know whether these guys are on the "up and up" before bidding. I'd be willing to accept some restrictions/limited availability/ be flexible to get a cheap fare like that - BUT, if there is no/very little availability to where I want to go, then it's not very useful to anyone.

BTW (and to pacify the cat-cops) - the docs also state that you may get ff credit depending on the airline.
