Got this from the mileage run board:

Only Y but under £300 to Hawai'i
Looks like those extra procedures to prevent mistakes have yet to kick in.

It's a free bet. Either you get to travel to Hawaii at a ludicrous price (admittedly in Y, so I wouldn't do it) or you get your money back.
So far my BGO-MIA booking for £350 in J seems to be holding water. Some have flown the fare with success. I'll let you know if I feel a fool this time next week.

But, you're right, maybe I was too harsh. I certainly wouldn't do it in Y though.

A theory put forward by others in relation to Bratwurst/Tequila etc, is that BA had cancelled them due to the size of the cabin (F) and the amount of revenue lost.
With these fares being in Y, that won't apply.
Somehow I still find myself waiting for the inevitable "Hula fare cancellation thread".

I wonder what the base fare is. I hope for people they have the decency not to cancel but frankly, either way, assuming that this is indeed a mistake, the incompetence of that pricing team knows no bound...

I wouldn't say 'hula' because I like the food and drink theme (granted, nobody eats Vikings), so maybe the great pineapple fare, or the kona crusted fare?

Fare basis is €93 so not likely to be a mistake. TATL and US sectors are in O so very limited earning opportunities.
I am holding out for something more interesting today...
