Oops. Business class fares sold for $8 - Travel - BrisbaneTimes

Irish airline Aer Lingus is refusing to honour an online offer which mistakenly sold business class transatlantic flights for five euros (A$8.48), a spokesman said Thursday.

The flights would normally sell for 1775 euros (A$3010) one way, said Enda Corneille, Aer Lingus director of corporate affairs who apologised to the customers concerned.

"It is a genuine mistake, a fundamental mistake on our part. We rectified it as quickly as we could. We have contacted the customers and given them the opportunity to re-book," he told RTE state radio.

At least they picked it up and announced that they would not be honoured... QUICKLY!!

Unlike AC with the "South American Tango" fare.. they let us beleive we had confirmed travel for nearly seven weeks before unilaterally cancelling all the tickets booked....:evil:
