Capt. Wilson L. Dos Santos is stationed in Iraq, but last month he clicked on Priceline to buy a ticket for his mother to fly from Boston to Fort Myers, Fla. When he realized he’d booked the wrong airport — he should have sent her to Tampa, instead — he tried to cancel the first ticket and bought a second one.

Priceline has just released their list of the Top 50 Destinations for Labor Day 2009. This is compilation based on actual bookings through priceline.com. That makes this list different from surveys that focus on future plans. This survey is based on future bookings of tens of thousands of travelers.

I’m a sucker for anything having to do with Priceline’s Negotiator, William Shatner’s alter ego. There’s just something about Captain Kirk bargaining with airlines that’s a utterly surreal. Well, it turns out some of you feel the same way.

There are many predictions that airlines will be consolidating, and we know they are cutting services. Now, it appears that online travel agencies are going through some sort of consolidation — the biggest are owned by four big companies.
