VA LAX to DPS, $567, 2.8cpm
From the flight deal...
Virgin Australia – $567: Los Angeles – Bali, Indonesia (link)
---
Tons of availability showing in matrix... DL metal possible LAX<-->SYD and (possibly) between BNE too.
ETA: There are a ton of immediate turn options.
Never booked airfare with priceline before. Booked this deal since I can cancel within 24hrs. It's odd that I can't put in FF# information anywhere; online, PL syas to call the airline (and I think I recall hearing somewhere to never call the airline
). What's the latest on MQM, MQD, general happiness, etc. with booking airfare (as a normal TA, not as a blind bid) on priceline?
Can anyone find a way to book this other than priceline?
Cheers

Got this to price the vacation date we wanted on Orbitz. Not sure why it didn't work before, but user error is likely ~99.937% of the problem. 
Still curious about the priceline questions above. Anyone got experience using PL to MR on DL?

Flew the prior deal DL ($548) SFO-LAX-SYD-DPS in February and was very pleased with VA service between SYD+DPS; return to SYD was on new aircraft late at night, and despite not much connection time in SYD it worked just fine. Ground staff said people do this connection every day. DL credited $370 MQDs and 21,716 MQMs.

No issues on getting what the fare classes should earn...
Record and Confirmation usually shows up within 4 hours on Delta.com, so you still have plenty of time to review and cancel (if needed) before the 24-hour window (or really midnight the day after purchase)

Ironically these flights will still be operated by Virgin International in the short term.
