‘Too good to be true’: Travelers score cheap first-class flights from Australia to US due to Qantas glitch
cnn.com/2024/08/27/travel/qantas-mistake-first-class-tickets-intl-hnk/
Quick Glance: Qantas' Handling of First Class Mistake Fare Examined
- Qantas mistakenly published a first-class fare of around AUD 5,000 for flights between Sydney and Los Angeles.
- The airline recorded approximately 300 bookings but will not honor these fares, instead offering business class tickets or refunds.
- Qantas stated that the issue stemmed from a coding error and described the offered business class tickets as a 'gesture of goodwill.'
- While some praise Qantas' response as heroic, it is crucial to recognize that the airline's loss from honoring these tickets may be minimal.
