Booked a one-way for two passengers for a simple NAP-FCO that I could use early next year.

At 400 tickets issued per minute with 25000 Yen rebate this would be a 100,000 Euro per minute damage. Somebody's gonna have a bad case of the Monday's.

Note: yes, not all will be 25000 Yen (e.g. on cheap intra-European tickets) and they get some additional business for long-haul where people are paying a bit but still it's a big number.

400 tickets a minute seems quite high. I've booked 2 tickets an hour ago and the numbers suggest a 80-100 per minute issuance rate.

Might be less than that. I would assume that ticket numbers include some kind control number to check the validity of the ticket number... Just like credit card numbers...

the discout is PER PERSON, not per ticket.

if you search for 2 people, the price displayed is for 2 people, not 1.

for a while i thought prices are pretty high until i found out that the total price each way is displayed.
