Let's face it...while litigation would cost the ticket-holders, it would also greatly cost the airline which probably farms its work out to some big NYC law-firm that can easily surpass the cost of these tix. in no time!

For those who got this deal, congrats --- hope it stands up. I've got a weird feeling about this one, though ....................

No seat assignments though on my MXP-IAD flight.

By the way, in New York -- at least back in 1999 -- you could become a lawyer without going to law school. You just need to "apprentice" for some period with a lawyer and then take the bar exam. You pass it, you become a lawyer in NY and a member of the NY Bar.

I got in on the Air Canada fare errors the last round [booked on Austrian]
I think this one works, because its paper tickets which I think are tougher to cancel.
