How high do they usually go? Starting at $200 doesn't seem worth it

It's very exciting when you decide you are going to do it, and you play chicken with others to see how high you can get it.

I almost took a $650 voucher once but I had been traveling a long time and just wanted to get home.

Heading to Chicago for work. Traveling Adobe and the delay is only an hour.

$300 would be sufficient for me for an hour delay.

I always bid 250 on the delta kiosk. I've never been picked. Their suggested bids are like 25-100

I took $400 plus a food/drink voucher for a three hour delay from Orlando once. Ate and drank until new flight. Flew to vegas for free.

Holy shite. Got to be United? Go up there and ask for $500 and drink coupons. They probably don't want to announce that, but you could probably get it.

Eta: $400 is still good for one hour. Congrats on the free flight.

That is what we did. Went up and said we would do $400 if they did food and drink comps also.
