Of course an honest reasonable person would not expect a $5 first class fare to a foreign land to be anything other than a mistake fare. But there is often a dearth of such "reasonable passengers" in the threads about these mistake fare.
I say good for the airlines. I like the idea of the 24 hour rule, turn about is fare play after all. Wonder how many "reasonable passengers" would be posting reasonable comments when the airline cancels their fare. Probably few to none.
