Are Priceline.com "name your own price" flights inconvenient?
I'm looking to save money in flights between Pittsburgh and Bermuda in September. Bidding low on a Flight from Priceline.com's "Name your own Price" feature seems like a good idea, but are the flight times that i will be stuck with after the accept my bid going to be really inconvenient? The website says travel time can range from 2am - 5am the next day!

Maybe. We have no idea what you would consider "inconvenient."

they don't purposly make the flights inconvenient per se, it's just that often times the way to get you the cheapest flight is by connecting you through 1 or more cities that are cheaper to fly into than say a direct flight which would be more expensive. Here's the best thing to do, look up the flights that are available, you can do it right on priceline or kayak. 99% of the time, it will be one of those flights. flights later in the day are usually less crowded will likely be what you will get if you bid. however, you just never know. but knowing the flight schedules will at least tell give you an idea of what to expect. but as you probably know, once you book the flight, you are stuck with it. you cannot change it.
