ITEM 1               SECURITY AND ISSUER

                     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relating to the common
stock of priceline.com Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("priceline"), is
being filed on behalf of Delta Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Delta"), to amend the Schedule 13D which was originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 20, 2000 (the "Schedule
13D"). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.


ITEM 3               SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                     As described in the Schedule 13D, on November 17, 1999,
Delta and priceline entered into a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement")
which amended the Airline Participation Agreement, dated August 31, 1998 (the
"Airline Participation Agreement"), between Delta and priceline, and the General
Agreement, dated August 31, 1998 (the "General Agreement"), among Delta,
priceline and Priceline Travel, Inc. In consideration of Delta's entering into
the Master Agreement, priceline issued a warrant (the "1999 Warrant") to Delta
which provided Delta with the right to acquire an additional 5,500,000 shares of
the common stock of priceline (the "priceline common stock") at a price of
$56.625 per share. In August, 2000, the 1999 Warrant became exercisable as to
2,750,000 shares of priceline common stock as a result of priceline's receiving
net revenues relating to travel on Delta and its affiliates in excess of $180
million during a specified period. The 1999 Warrant was to become exercisable as
to the remaining 2,750,000 shares of priceline common stock on January 1, 2001
as a result of priceline's receiving net revenues relating to travel on Delta
and its affiliates in excess of $80 million during the period from January 1,
2000 through December 31, 2000.


ITEM 4               PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

                     Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following
                     information:

                     On November 2, 2000, priceline issued an Amended
Participation Warrant Agreement (the "Amended 1999 Warrant") to Delta. The
Amended 1999 Warrant:

o      cancelled Delta's right to purchase 825,000 shares of priceline common
       stock under the 1999 Warrant, leaving Delta with the right to purchase
       only 4,675,000 shares of the 5,500,000 shares of priceline common stock
       that Delta previously had the right to purchase under the 1999 Warrant;

----------------------                              ---------------------------


o      reduced the exercise price of the 1999 Warrant as to the remaining
       4,675,000 shares of priceline common stock from $56.625 per share to
       $4.7188 per share, the closing price per share of priceline common stock
       on the NASDAQ National Market on November 3, 2000; and

o      provided that Delta may not sell or otherwise transfer more than 50% of
       the Amended 1999 Warrant or the shares of priceline common stock subject
       to the Amended 1999 Warrant until November 2, 2001 (the "Lock-Up
       Restriction").

                     Delta may exercise the Amended 1999 Warrant to purchase the
2,337,500 shares of priceline common stock for which the Amended 1999 Warrant is
currently exercisable at any time. Also, at any time on or after January 1,
2001, Delta may exercise the Amended 1999 Warrant as to the remaining 2,337,500
shares of priceline common stock subject to the Amended 1999 Warrant. Delta may
sell, in the open market or in private transactions, some or all of the shares
so purchased, either immediately or over a period of time, subject to the
Lock-Up Restriction.

priceline common stock beneficially owned by Delta represent approximately 6.3%
of the 179,183,660 shares of priceline common stock outstanding on November 10,

priceline common stock pursuant to the Amended 1999 Warrant and the conversion
of Delta's 6,000,000 shares of priceline convertible preferred stock into
6,000,000 shares of priceline common stock), as set forth in priceline's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

                     Mary Johnston Evans, a director of Delta, holds 100 shares
of priceline common stock. To the best of Delta's knowledge, none of the other
directors or executive officers of Delta beneficially owns shares of priceline
common stock.

                     (b)       Delta has sole voting and dispositive power over
all of the shares of priceline common stock beneficially owned by Delta and, to
the best of Delta's knowledge, Mary Johnston Evans has sole voting and
dispositive power over all of the shares of priceline common stock she holds.

                     (c)       Except as otherwise set forth in the Schedule
13D, neither Delta nor, to the best of Delta's knowledge, any of Delta's
directors or executive officers has effected any transactions in priceline
common stock during the past 60 days.

                     (d)       No person other than Delta has the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the shares of

priceline common stock beneficially owned by Delta or, to the best of Delta's
knowledge, Mary Johnston Evans.


               (e)       Delta has not ceased being the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the priceline common stock.

                     WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF PRICELINE

                     On November 2, 2000, priceline issued to Delta the Amended

common stock at an exercise price of $4.7188 per share and provides that Delta
may not sell or otherwise transfer more than 50% of the warrant or of the shares
