It's charging ZERO fare, only taxes/charges! Thought it was a complete mistake but must be related to the flash sale Flight Centre is doing today only.

Looks like you can book it online through ebookers. Do it now - quick! :)

I checked it through Lastminute.com

Its def. an OTA glitch, ebookers says 0 GBP for the bf, lastminute 30GBP, ita and many others don't show the mispriced bf at all.
Very low chance of getting it honored when its an OTA mistake

anyone have fare rules?
is it refundable?

If someone had booked, how long would it be before you were confident enough the ticket would be honoured?

I'm sure they would squirm out of it.

Wish someone had booked it!

I doubt very much that the airline would honour it but simply refund those that purchased it

When would this happen? Before ticketing or flight showing as confirmed on EK.com, or how long after?

Would it be the OTA or the airline that initiates the process?

I have booked it! It's been ticketed so waiting to see if it will be honoured as OTA say that as the fare was £0 it was a mistake and they will let me know within a week, Emirates say they can't see the fare paid and its valid for travel

Good luck - who would foot the bill here EK or the booking agent?

Depends on whose mistake it is - it would usually depend on how much revenue EK has received for the ticket. If it's a published fare that the OTA has resold incorrectly, then EK should have received the correct amount of money and would have no problem flying the passenger. It would be up to the OTA whether to eat the loss or refund the ticket. Depending on the relationship between EK and the OTA, the OTA could ask EK to do the cancelling for them and then the OTA would then sort out the client end.

If it's a mistake fare that EK has uploaded to OTAs for distribution then I would expect EK to refund those tickets through the OTAs (i.e. cancel them and notify the OTA) and issue credit notes to the OTAs for them to pass on to customers.

I think it was bookable on most OTA so it was likely Emirates mistake as long as I know either way am not too fused
