Similarly to the hotwire deal....on my last trip I took a risk and used priceline.com. I bid for just under the fare sale that I missed by one day and got an even lower price than what had been quoted, including travel insurance. Total I paid $350 rt. Thats from DC but still...I got a good fare and on the same US Air flight I would have booked otherwise.

Just FYI, my sister used it also and got great tickets for her flight to England.
