A new concept of Priceline



Have you ever been to the best hotels in the world and experienced how luxurious they are? If you never had the chance to do it or if you thought the prices would never be accessible for you, then it is about time that you think twice about it! As you may read on the msnbc.com article below, the tendence is for the prices to continue to drop even on the best Hotels:

This recession may be Priceline's finest moment because of the especially deep savings it is offering on hotel rooms and hotel/resort packages booked through its "name-your-own-price" feature.

Here's why: American hotel owners have struggled since the 2001 recession to boost their room rates back up to the profitable levels of the 1990s. Today, they're reluctant to cut their advertised rates. Many hotels are turning to Priceline to deeply discount their rates up to half off and fill their empty beds — without starting a price war.

No wonder that Priceline is probably the largest seller of hotels in the U.S. today. (I can't say for sure that it's the largest because Travelocity is a private company and doesn’t publicize its numbers, though I'm skeptical that Travelocity is number one.)

Priceline has changed a lot in the past couple of years. If you haven't used the site lately, you may have missed some of its recent innovations.

Did you know, for instance, that Priceline lets you "blind book" air/resort packages? You don't have to place a bid because Priceline tells you the total price of a package plus the name of the resort. The twist is that Priceline doesn't tell you the name of the airline or the departure time for the plane tickets automatically packaged with the deal. You will, however, be told the number of layovers and the airports you'll be stopping at, plus the window for flight departures (between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.). If the flight doesn't work, you can choose from other available flight options. The package will usually cost less than the price of the flight and hotel room booked separately. Savings can total 50 percent.

Interested in just booking a hotel? Here are some up-to-date strategies for making the most of Priceline:

Hotels
While Priceline is a full-fledged booking engine, it's most valuable for its bidding system. As you may know, you don't learn the hotel (or airline, car-rental company or vacation package details) until your bid has been accepted and your credit card has been charged. You'll find out whether your bid has been accepted instantly. (In the past, it took quite a while to hear back.)

Our advice: Research neighborhoods in advance, and consider choosing neighborhoods in financial districts. Right now, Priceline's best deals appear to be for business and upscale hotels.

Finding some new friends

Even though I am a traveler and I tend to find many persons that fascinate me while I am traveling all around the world, the truth is that I have always loved to share some music and experiences with punks as I also consider myself a punk too! Still, it can be really difficult to find some cool punks with who I can talk…

Fortunately, I was recently told about this amazing Punk Chat Room which will play a very important role in my life as soon as I get the time to spend some hours on the chat room and meet some new cool friends! Could it really be easier than this? Moreover, the registration process is 100% free and it is unbelievably fast and easy for us to register and start chatting in a matter of just a few minutes. Furthermore, there is a cool option by the name of “Browse Users” on the top of the page that will immediately allow you to get an idea of who is online and who isn’t, making sure that you are always informed about who is online.

So, if you are a punk or if you feel like meeting some punks, why don’t you take some of your time and visit the website to which I have linked above? I am sure that chat room will really come in handy for you when you finally decide to make some new friends!

New airline pricing...




While most people believe that this is not the best time to travel around the world, the truth is that I deffend exactly the opposite! As a matter of fact, now that the economy is still trying to find its way to the stability that it always had in the past, the airlines and most Hotels are offering us better prices to fight crisis... Below is another msnbc.com article which will you help you understand the situation:

Whether you call the practice à la carte pricing or nickel-and-diming passengers, the fees most airlines now charge for everything from food and drinks to checked bags aren't going away. With far fewer people flying because of the economy — especially business travelers — many carriers are counting on this revenue more than ever.

"The airlines are doing it because they can't raise fares," says Michael Boyd, president of aviation consulting firm Boyd Group International.

And the companies have found that add-ons can be very profitable. In fact, à la carte pricing has become so successful that analysts are predicting airlines may soon institute the even more nitpicky menu-pricing structure that's been helping Air Canada survive since 2004. For all of its flights, Air Canada offers four fare options, each with a different set of extras, such as a free checked bag or an on-board food voucher. Customers can then add or subtract other services — forgo frequent-flier miles and save $3, for instance, or pay $30 to access the airline's lounges.

For now, most carriers in the U.S. simply say they are sticking with the à la carte approach and considering tacking on more fees in the year to come. So what does this mean for passengers? "
