Errors on AC 21 Sept one day sale and fall sale to Europe
 
I think someone had too much to drink while proofing this. Promos on AC home page today.
YYZ-ATH $270 round trip in Y 11-14 Sept.
And from the 21 Aug one day sale.
YYZ-SCL return $313. 08-11 Sept
I'd like to buy these fares but obviously cannot.

Don't be silly, drinking had nothing to do with it. Well, maybe nothing. :D

How many times have we found errors on these AC promos? While the pricing one you found is a fun one, I also like the ones where they announce a holiday promos but copy & paste the info from last year so the dates don't match. I think AC broke their spell-check and the proofreaders quit, because how else does this stuff get posted on their website? :D


This one is still showing, but of course, "bait and switch" LOLL


Wow, what a deal and not even a same-day turn. :D

Click Book Now and well, sure, maybe this price makes more sense but that's not the reason I clicked Book Now.

But ok, I'll play and select Economy for $996 (why do I feel like this is a game show?)

And there you go, nowhere.

And why would I enter alternate travel sates when AC suggested Sept 20-22 in the first place. :D

Yes, I was bored. :p

And speaking of drinking, the title of this thread notes a sale on 21 September, but it's August 21 today.

too bad these misleading sales do not seem to be to/from USA

otherwise AC would be fined $200k plus by the DOT

The link didn't work for me, so I'm going to try quoting it.
