My friend won a auction for a vacation in Boca Chica last year. He didn't have any problems. He and his wife flew Continental and stayed at the Coral Hamaca which is probably the best AI in Boca Chica. He had no complaints. I

They are an excellent company to deal with. I've used them for the past 4 or 5 years and have always been satisfied with their offerings and service. In fact, I just won a 2 day stay at a Puerto Plata AI that I'll be using when I go next month. The friend that's going with me got his airfare through them and he's very pleased with the experience. I've used them for packages, airfare only and hotel only type auctions and have never had a problem.
Good luck.

You guys didn't win anything, you bought something. The charges on top of the auction price is sometimes more than the hotels are worth.

Gamble and you go for free:")jerryme said:Well we won two tickets at $1.00 each and the fees were $88 each. Can you find me two tickets to the Bahamas at any dates I want for under $200.00 USD???????????
Your tickets are good for "ANY" Date?
I agree with Escott, Not sure about the airfare............
.............but I do know that the hotels are not a good deal EVEN if you get them for free. For example, I live near Cofresi and if you were to get a room at the inclusives there, the daily fee they charge you is more than if you were to call the hotel directly and book a room.

I compare with AA.com if it is cheaper on Skyauction, I do it. I travelled skyauction in Aug, Oct and will again in Nov. I have 3 more sets on pay now fly later.
Cheapcaribbean.com is affiated with skyauction, and you can book your flights directly. You get you ff miles with either.
I also bought a one week stay at Casa Marina Beach with RT air from my little hometown, and the price was less then AA.com for STL to POP air only.

The secret to Skyauction is know how much something is before you bid. Add all the taxes, fees and air surcharges and if that is less then you would normally pay, buy it.Buck69 said:has any one dealted with them is it a scam or not? Not sure if I trust them or not any help ?

How much was the total, including all taxes especially the international tax they always charge?
TOTAL WAS $88.00 USD EACH. I don't know why people can't believe this. Tomorrow I am catching a flight to Mexico to go to Cozumel and Isla Mujeres (near Cancun) Got hotels for $23.00 a night INCLUDING FESS. And this is not the first time we went there on Skyauction.
What was nice about the Bahamas trip is it is a nonstop flight from Myrtle Beach, SC. Which is driving distance from me.

I 've tried a couple of bids myslf though haven't gotten one yet. What's nice is you make your bid and you can see what it will cost if you win. And that's before you submit the bid, officially.
7 days w/ r/t air from mia @sun breezes or some such in pop. or ditto at casa marina in sosua came in at $443.00 for 2. However, upon reading the fine print one learns that that price is "without" food, drinks, etc.
Point being: it's possible to bid, win, fly, and just never check into the A1 in that the air fare for 2 could be more as a straight purchase.
Patience and luck is all that's needed to occasionaly get an excellent deal.

taxes
I see on there web site that there is most often $32.00 taxes pp per nite so if I book a room only & pay my bid pluss $32.00 taxes. when I book my flight are there more taxes? I am from Pa. & my taxes with a flight & hotel are about $130.00 would I have to pay another $130.00 for the flight ?jerryme said:TOTAL WAS $88.00 USD EACH.

Departure Taxes
The $130pp is your Domestic & Foreign Taxes, 9.11 security fee, & other airport fees. The $32pp per night is most likely hotel taxes, booking fees, or service charges, and would have nothing to do with your air.Buck69 said:I see on there web site that there is most often $32.00 taxes pp per nite so if I book a room only & pay my bid pluss $32.00 taxes. when I book my flight are there more taxes?

My boyfriend won a bid there. He will be flying from Houston, AA, one stop in MIA for USD 409 total AND arriving SDQ at 4:00 pm, so the day is not lost!. We found it a good deal.
