Will delta honor a pricing glitch?
 

Looking to go to the Caribbean in January and just priced up LGA->ATL->PUJ->ATL->JFK for $240 including first class on the NYC/ATL legs. Don't really love the idea of a layover on this short flight but for that bargain of a price of course i couldnt pass that up.

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 :)

Delta: Orlando to Hawaii - will it be honored?
 

So my Fiance and I have been looking for tickets to Hawaii for our honeymoon next September and I think I have struck gold. For a brief moment I was able to book two round trip, first class tickets from MCO to HNL for, drum-roll please...$166.60.

I am shocked, but called after booking to confirm the flight and all seems well, confirmation email received and Amex charged. So now, flyertalkers, what's the chance of them actually honoring this? I attached a screenshot of the confirmation email with identifying information taken out.

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.

Who knows. I managed to snag a couple -- DTW-LAS for $72.81 and DTW-LAX for $68.73. If I had been thinking, I would have gone for some HNL and ANC flights for $68 and $65!

Expedia Orlando to Hawaii
 

dead, price changed after pricing

Check the economy seats. I was finding them for about $60 round trip.

What's the chance of them honoring this?

DSM-HNL for $105.... First time ever on DL if they honor it !

Ya, I saw NYC-HNL in first/BE for $171 this weekend. Was about to pull the trigger, but timed out. Doubt they would've honored it, but I guess I will never know.

Friend of mine managed to score two r/t tickets at these prices without even meaning to! He assumed it was some kind of promotion, rather than a mistake.

I'd have expected to see more discussion of it here if it were a major glitch. Perhaps the error was fixed within minutes? What a lucky so-and-so....

Same here, saw IND-OCC in Y for $75 in March. Timed out before I could check out.
Thought there was some law that said that airlines had to honor the ticketed price.
Anyone know if that is true?

I missed it and had been watching the MR forums the past few days. :(

Rubbing our faces in it I see.

Next time why not post your find on FT and don't call until the offer is gone.

I only noticed it for a couple of hours this morning. After I finished selecting seats, it timed out :( Oh well.

There is no such law. Inventory can change at any time between the time you price a flight and the time you actually purchase it.

Got six flights for $25-$50 going MSN-DEN, LAX, LGA & SFO. Hoping they honor it, all the tickets were only $3 before fees.
