Defraud?? Very strong word! Is he using a stolen credit card? A rubber check? Is he trying to obtain goods in a fraudulent manner? Hardly!
If he already has booked a RTW trip some months ago and decided to have a nice F-class trip from LHR-BKK-LHR as an additional 2 segments then it is all kosher. And knowing Oz, he would have picked the right dates for this TG thing i.e. when he will be in Europe on his RTW.
An offer of sale was made and he accepted the offer. Period. Where is there fraud in this? When RyanAir offers FREE tickets and thousands accept then where is there any fraud? Missing out on the fare is one thing but accusing others of fraud is quite different.</font>
As Oz and I are now best friends I won't go into the whole ethical matter here, but I will say to you that comparing this to Ryanairs SHORTHAUL promo offering GBP0.01 tickets that was all over the press, their website, TV and was announced weeks before is DIFFERENT than an obvious fare error like this. Ryanairs fares are always low, around GBP30, I haven't seem any published Thai first class fares for that yet...
If you are going to defend someone at least do it based on logical and reasonable comparisons... This is like the people that claimed that the BA $20 cockup was actually a secret PR stunt by them
