LH C-class Europe - US for under USD 1! [fare gone]
LH's Norwegian website booking engine is now closed following an error that gave people the opportunity to buy trans atlantic business class tickets for less than 1 USD. Link attached (Norwegian only).
Business ticket for NOK 4.50
LH spokesperson is indicating tickets will not be honoured.

I bought a ticket I F from Rome to NYC to Oslo I F for 29nok (5usd).
Got this email yesterday evening :

Vi må derfor meddele deg at den eller de. flyreisene som du har bestilt til den nevnte prisen dessverre ikke kan kjøpes til denne prisen og at det derfor ikke kan utstedes billett .

I understand LH for not honoring an obviously erroneous fare. They do not want to set any precedent. This time they caught it after 50 tix issued. Maybe next time they have thousands of erroneous bookings.
And I found LH actually quite understanding and helpful when I once booked a non-refundable fare for the wrong date. They refunded it.
