I'm looking into making a spring break trip (location TBA) - however, I am a poor college kid and I've heard Hotwire gives some good deals, so I want some testimony.
If you've used it, were you happy? Were the flights reasonable, as per the price and time? Did you fly mainly RJs or larger planes?
Thanks

I never used hotwire.com for flights. I did check out prices for a trip from PDX-LAS over the summer and the prices were about the same as WN. I did book a motel room in SEA at the airport for about $40. Later, I found the room usualy goes for $110.

I booked a trip from JFK-Montreal last August on Hotwire, it was a great price and the travel times worked out fine.
Hotwire is great for airtravel, it's the best deal you can get.

I've used it once. Got a $225 room for $80 in Austin. Only problem was, I got billed by the hotel AND hotwire...but it got straightened out quickly.
