Priceline has extended its airfare sale through Labor Day.
That means special discounts on its "Name your own price" tickets, as well as no booking fees for travelers who prefer to choose their airlines and departure times.
With flights so full this summer, airfare bargains have been hard to find.
Not since the dot com implosion have Priceline shares reached $79.73, as they did Wednesday.
Strong demand and earnings have more than doubled Priceline share prices during the past year.
It's interesting how companies like Priceline and Southwest that offer good values are making a profit, while many of those that charge much higher prices are not.
Have a small group?
You can now book up to 9 rooms at one time using Priceline's "Name your own price" bidding.
This means extra savings for class field trips, teams, small business conferences, weddings, and family reunions, because "Name your own price" discounts are usually greater than group discounts.
Remember, though, that Priceline bids are for standard hotel rooms, which especially in a few older hotels in large cities may not have room for more than two persons.
