  • Anyone ever used the hotel link on aircanada.ca?

  • Anyone ever booked their hotels via the hotel link on www.aircanada.ca? (http://www.aircanada.ca?)

    I've been looking for HKG hotels for next week and it took my a while to find a room directly with the hotel. (It's the Rugby thing in HKG next week so most hotels are fully booked) I understand that the hotel link on AC's website is basically Destina. The interesting thing here is:

    Destina's site shows only the rack rate being available but the hotel link on AC's site shows the lowest rate being available.

    I am just thinking whether I should book via the hotel link on AC's site and cancel the booking that I made directly with the hotel. Just not sure whether it's worth the risk but the rate on AC's site will save me significant money.

    (And it looks like the actual booking site on AC's main site is simply hotels.com)

    Wow, that is fabulous for Rome. What hotel did you get? When did you bid for it?


  • parnel, all hotels next week are sold out as it's the Rugby thing. I went all the way up to $150USD on Priceline and got nothing. I found out the rate on AC's site (hotels.com) was actually an error rate and it wasn't bookable (the cancellation policy was all messed up).

    It gives you a very good idea on what you need to bid to get a specific level of hotel and what the winning hotels usually are. (Beware about posting on that board though, the moderator/owner is arrogant; lots of threads in the FT Travel online booking forum about that)


    Thanks, I'm very aware of that particular dynamic http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif. I didn't see Parnell's bid there, though, which is why I asked. Also check out http://www.betterbidding.com for another site that has Priceline and Hotwire bidding posts.
