Yes, it's 60% more than the $1k fare, but a far cry from their "we forgot to add a zero" excuse for a $10,000 fare.

The best part is that the 25% discount voucher code for IB.com given as a compensation has to be used in 15 days, like whiskey tango foxtrot. I will not use it so if anyone is booking a flight by EOM, DM me and I'll give you the code

Although, given it's Iberia, I am surprised they even offered the token 25% discount voucher.

Another funny thing is, unless I'm mistaken, is the new fare they put me on only 497 EUR? Essentially I paid $1k for a ~$500 ticket??
*EDIT: i guess plus a random $400 "carrier surcharge" that would put it close to $1k

Amex rep said IB took control of the ticket so they cannot refund it. Then I called IB and they said the ticket has been refunded already. What a joke of an airline

Eventually, IB told me to contact Amex Travel and have them call the IB travel agency line as it requires manual refund from the accounting department or whatever. Still waiting on the refund though.

Sadly, lost this one.
Cheers!

That being said, it’s quite disappointing that some took an error fare to court. Airlines will now be less tempted to honour error fares in the future.

My ticket is still live. Booked at an OTA, two weeks later one flight in the booking got canceled, contacted the OTA and about a week later a new ticket was issued by Latam. The new ticket even says Reissue due to involuntary schedule change and shows the old ticket number as exchanged ticket. The new ticket issue date is therefore well outside the time frame of the issued tickets from the error fare. I think I might have slipped through cause of this lucky circumstance.
I start to feel pretty comfortable that I can actually fly the ticket. Do you guys think there could be any issues at MAD airport? My only concern is, that the Latam e-ticket still shows the old ticket number under the "exchanged ticket" section.

Current situation is that the ticket issued by Amex Travel (075-7XXX) was voided to a $0 value when Iberia unilaterally reissued a ticket in Economy under their control (075-1XXX). Iberia can't process a refund and Amex Travel has no access to the new ticket.
- Iberia customer service asked for Amex Travel to call Iberia trade helpdesk (travel agency service line) directly to process a refund by the accounting department
- Then the agency service line directed Amex Travel to have me file a claim at https://www.iberia.com/us/proof-request/
- I would hear back a few days later directing me to call Amex Travel
and I've been in this loop for a month now
what a ducking mess

Just came back from flying this fare, booked via AMEX.
Happy to have had a lie flat for such a long trip, but IB service is atrocious and their A330’s could use a refurb or better yet, retirement. Very good champagne and wines on LA, crew much nicer than on IB.
