Winter holidays lost due to online ticketing error
 
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/...cancelled.html

A Canadian couple are among 300 would-be travellers outraged after their winter vacations were cancelled because Korean Air tickets they bought online were not supposed to be sold to consumers.

He said this case highlights one of the perils of booking flights online,
No, it highlights the perils of booking through online agencies. Stick with the airlines' websites @:-) .

While I would tend to agree if the 'victims' had booked through www.SuperDeluxeTravelDeals.ru, these trips were booked through Expedia. I think there is an assumption that some online vendors - Such as Amazon - Are 'trustworthy.' Expedia would be in that category, in my mind.

I remembered this thread. Our unlucky travellers may have known exactly what they were doing when they booked. Still no excuse for Expedia leaving them hanging.
