low airfare sources

[Mike_M]

I remember recently reading a post here about a website where you put in your itinerary and a price bid you're willing to pay and the airline contacts you to accept the price. I've done a search on the airfare postings in this forum and can't seem to locate that posting. Can anyone help me on this? Also, do you know if they work with domestic flights as well?

Has anyone tried skyauction?

I used skyauction for a couple of trips to the dominican republic. Worked out very well. Just make sure that you don't get so caught up in it that you end up bidding retail.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Re Skyauction I have used it for a trip to the Dominican Republic and for my trip last year to Rio. I agree that the pricing does at time reach retail rates. I've found that the same trips are offered frequently and it bears watching for awhile. I've had good results by waiting until just a couple of minutes before the auction is scheduled to close and entering my bid then.
