Want To Save $7 to $15 On A Holiday Airline Ticket? Book It Through Priceline.com

NORWALK, Conn.--(Business Wire)-- Still need an airline ticket home for the holidays? Book it at priceline.com and, in most cases, you’ll pay less than the same ticket would cost on Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz. That’s because priceline.com is the only one of the “Big Four” online travel services that doesn’t charge booking fees on its published-price domestic and international fares. On the other sites, booking fees can range from approximately $7 for a domestic ticket, to as much as $15 for an international ticket. For a family of four, that can amount to savings of $28 to $60. And here’s more good news. Priceline.com said today that, depending on travel dates and itineraries, some December airfares are down as much as 10 percent compared to last year.
