I respectfully disagree - see my point below where mistake was introduced in the title but with a question mark, and where even if some people believed it is a mistake, it does not mean that others had to agree that it was. People can thankfully make up their own mind independently about what others post in threads, and in the same way that countless posters constantly repeat that BA F is less good than AA J does not make this true to some of us, people repeating that they believe that £195 to TLV may be a mistake will certainly not have convinced everyone who read this nor should it.

You will notably recall that when the Scandinavia-West Coast excellent WT+ (Y UP) fare was introduced, for weeks, a majority of people on this forum claimed that it was a mistake too especially as the bucket did not seem to match the booking class which is not something that used to be done by BA. It took much longer to figure out that we were wrong and that this was, in fact, a genuine fare.

There is no doubt that someone who would claim they thought it was a mistake thought that it was one, but to say that anyone who has looked at a thread was convinced that this was a mistake is a big assumption to make IMHO especially where people were precisely not aware of the booking class and simply bought an "economy standard" ticket.

In fact, even in the case above where someone would have claimed/believe that this was a mistake fare, this may not, in and by itself, make it a manifest error. If I remember correctly, the usual definition of manifest errors in law is that they are "obvious and indisputable" so even if you believed that you may be benefitting from an error but are not sure about it, it may not be enough to make it manifest even though it is presumably something that company representatives would try to use.
