Arapahoe County-based Cheap Tickets helps people fly on the cheap, but customers may never again see a deal like the one offered this week.
A computer glitch on the company's Web site allowed numerous fliers to book round-trip tickets from the United States to Reykjav'k, Iceland, on Icelandair for under $100 - far less than the normal summer fares.
"I will be one UNHAPPY camper if this does not go through," chimed one traveler on an Internet message board.
On Thursday evening, Cendant Corp., owner of Cheap Tickets, said it was honoring the fares. It did not say how many of the dirt-cheap tickets had been purchased, and Iceland-air did not return a phone call.
(A number of FTers are mentioned in this story.)
