The Aer Lingus spokesman is completely correct, but it won't stop the usual nonsense whenever this topic comes up.
Would you mind enlightening me? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm not a solicitor so I don't know how these things work, but I'd be interested to know what part of contract law keeps a company from honouring a contract to sell a service for an agreed price, regardless of what that price might be.

What are the details?

Thanks!
