Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) announced today that it has extended its
Summer Flights Sale through Labor Day (September 3, 2007). While the
sale is on, priceline.com customers pay no booking fees for
published-price airline tickets purchased for travel up to 330 days from
date of purchase.
Every flight and itinerary is on sale, except those purchased through
priceline.com's Name Your Own Price®
service. That means that, in most cases, priceline.com customers will
pay less for their tickets than they would at other major online travel
reservation services, including Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and Cheap
Tickets.
To check out the Summer Flights Sale, visit http://www.priceline.com/flights/.
Customers choosing priceline.com for their airline tickets will enjoy
other significant benefits besides no booking fees. In addition to
round-trips on the same airline, priceline.com allows customers to ?mix-and-match?
their flights, choosing one airline and itinerary for the outbound leg
of their trip and another for the return, also without a booking fee.
Combining airlines can improve itineraries and savings, which is why
approximately 20% of priceline.com's retail
tickets now sold include two carriers. When these types of tickets are
sold through other online travel reservation agencies, or via comparison
shopping site referrals, customers typically pay a booking fee.
Priceline.com customers also have the ability to easily package a
discounted hotel and/or rental car from priceline.com's
collection of thousands of partner hotels and rental car companies
around the world. Priceline.com's unique Name
Your Own Price® option can save them up to
50% on hotels, up to 40% on airline tickets and up to 30% on rental cars
compared to published prices. Priceline.com's Name
Your Own Price® service is unique and
different from fixed-price travel sites. With priceline.com's
Name Your Own Price® service,
important details about your itinerary are shown only after purchase.
