decimal point glitches
Are there websites which send out alerts if super low fares come up on airline sites due to glitches in placement of the decimal point?

Would booking such a fare actually go through and/or would the airline actually honor such a fare?

yes, they have to if it has appeared on their website! I' ve read about several instances when this has happened, a bunch of guys flew from NY to Cairo and back for $89! ( the actual fare was $890)

There was the $20 WT+ fares for a roundtrip from the US to nearly anywhere in Europe that BA flew. I don't know if that was a two decimal point glitch or not, but it appeared to be.
