Thought there was some law that said that airlines had to honor the ticketed price.
Anyone know if that is true?

While you responded to the situation described, that's not the question the OP actually asked - if airlines had to honor a ticketed price. The correct answer is that there is no law, but there is a DOT rule that airlines have to honor a ticketed or purchased price (or risk being fined by DOT).
