This thread concerns a period on 6 August 2015 when for at least 6 hours, starting a 07:30 GMT, BA, AA and AY offered Business class flights from 3 Norwegian airports - Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen - to the USA. By cheap we mean below £400 for OSL-LHR-USA in business class return, plus additional flights in First thereafter. Bragging rights go to crazy8534, original post here. Around lunchtime these fares were pulled, but by that time a number of FTers had leapt in and got themselves booked and ticketed. Some also upgraded existing bookings or UuA'd to First.
BA have now confirmed directly to many FTers via email that their bookings will be honoured (Screenshot of email courtesy AAtticus). We await confirmation from those booked on AA.com and those with multiple bookings.
Back to back information for OSL, BGO and SVG is to be found here, and also there is a photo guide here for OSL kindly posted by wjh5879.

BA are clearly aware of the error fare hence it being withdrawn rather quickly. If they intend to repudiate the contract based on mistake they must advise within a reasonable time.

If BA are going to honour these fares, I'll absolutely play the game and complete the itinerary. Legally who know's how far they could really take it but I don't want to lose my avios and status over a mild inconvenience and that is something they could do if they really wanted to.

I booked OSL-JFK (end March) on BA.com, not too much after the discovery/alert post. Then, after extensive consultation with the husband, I tried around 2pm to get OSL-MIA (Feb dates) for us and the children. On BA.com the fare was already gone, but on AA.com was still alive... so I was able to book it anyway (e-ticket n. arrived 20/40 min after)
Now I wait, crossing my fingers. I would be very happy to take those flights

I need to book some work flights (they pay y, i book ex-eu j and swallow any difference) and the boss took too long to respond with confirmed travel dates. He's getting a kick in the .....
Happy travels to everyone that bagged flights! I might book some ex norway trips anyway since the difference of ex-eu j and y from GLA is typically 400 quid so i'll feel like i did it!!

Some people on the Mileage Run Discussion forum report cancelled bookings (so far trips booked on several German OTAs, including ticketed).

Thank you for your booking.. Because a collective error airplane tickets was for a short period at 06:08:15, displayed with an incorrect ticket price for the journey from Oslo to your selected destination.. Since the adjustment of the tariff was based on a mistake, we do not hold fast to the ticket price wrong offered.. As the collective was obviously recognizable as a mistake and does not constitute a fare, the airline will not carry with this ticket.. Therefore, we are free to cancel the reservation and completely forced to reimburse.. We regret this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

From the other topic there
Don't mind the Google Translate. But if this is correct, especially the As the collective was obviously recognizable as a mistake and does not constitute a fare, the airline will not carry with this ticket part worries me. I understand that non ticketed bookings with PNR's are cancelled but I don't think these fares will be honoured if booked directly but not via OTA. It'll be either everyone or no one and it looks more like no one.

(a) It's a boiler plate text not necessarily written for this event
(b) It's a machine translation from German
The OTA is getting cold feet, it isn't a reflection of the airline's position
Remember the agents are financially on the hook for mistakes whereas customers aren't
