I checked back half an hour later and the price had jumped back up to a more realistic $475 in economy. I'm assuming that was an error that Delta fixed, however if I had booked the ticket would Delta have honored it? Or do they have the right to cancel a ticket like this?
I've heard of stories where an error put up flights for $1 or something equally rediculous and all tickets were subsequantly cancelled however as $240 is a semi-realistic fare (admittedly very very low) could a customer claim that they were taking advantage of a bargain fare rather than trying to game the system?
Thoughts?
Thanks
I noticed the price glitch as well on a flight to/out of LGA which priced at under $40 both in coach & first. My feeling is that these wouldn't be honored but you never know. I didn't book my ticket since this is a trip for work and wouldn't want to find myself with a canceled ticket as I head to the airport so I decided to wait for the glitch to work itself through the system.
