Lucky travellers got air tickets worth $10000 for just $300 by mistake!

Ever imagined getting a business class flight ticket at economy rates… Well, several passengers got lucky in Japan, when they bought tickets worth $10,000 (Rs 8.2 lakh) for just only $300 (approx ₹ 24,000).

As per the reports, this incident happened after a Japanese airline unintentionally underpriced some business class tickets.
One of Japan's biggest airlines, All Nippon Airways (ANA) offered inaccurate costs for tickets to fly from Indonesia's capital Jakarta to Japan, then to New York, and back to Singapore and Bali. Another interesting thing to note is that one flyer paid just $890 (Rs 73,000) for a first-class ticket from Jakarta to the Caribbean via Tokyo and New York and back again.

The Japanese carrier added that the mistake stemmed from an error on its Vietnam website, which listed an erroneous currency conversion. Although it has not yet revealed how many people had gotten lucky, the airline added that it was currently investigating the cause of the bug and the size of its damage.
ANA, however, added that it will honour the tickets of those who booked the tickets and paid, but those who only reserved the tickets will be required to pay a ‘just price.’

If reports are to go by, this isn’t the first time that an airline has inadvertently sold premium seats at a steep discount. Back in 2019, Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd accidentally sold discounted first and business-class tickets from Vietnam to the US back for as little as $675, whereas the usual price would have been as much as $16,000. Nevertheless, it also honoured those fares.
Isn’t this some luck we all wish for now!
