Airline Auctions

If you are looking to save money on travel, then airline auctions may be for you. When supply for certain flights overwhelms capacity, airlines release these seats to consolidators and ticket brokers. The Internet version of these traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses is Priceline.com.

How can this work for you? Check your usual online travel sources first. Then shop Priceline after you've verified ticket prices. If you don't care which airline you fly, just name your own price to see if they can beat it.

The next time you are looking for a discount flight, an airline auction may be the only way to fly!
