The participating airlines change from time to time. Altogether, Priceline.com works with nearly three dozen airlines to maximum your chances of obtaining a low airfare.

Hotwire.com uses similar airlines and has similar rules and procedures, which makes it easy for you to compare its price to what you want to bid on Priceline.com.

Sometimes, you may be ticketed on one airline, yet travel on another (at least for part of your trip). For example, United has a "code share" agreement with South African Airways (an excellent airline) so your "United" trip from Los Angeles to Cape Town may use South African part way.

The major airlines that use code sharing agreements (American with Qantas, KLM with Northwest, etc.) are careful with whom they align themselves, as their reputations are on the line.
