Eagle-eyed travelers have snapped up $10,000 business-class tickets on Japan’s ANA Holdings Ltd for just a few hundred dollars after a currency conversion blunder.
ANA has said it will honor the tickets for those people who saw the mistake and jumped on its website quickly to book and pay (the glitch was circulating widely on some social media platforms) but those who only reserved the tickets will have to pay a “just price,” according to an airline spokesperson Wednesday.
Most of the tickets were from travel starting in Jakarta, through to Japan and then onto New York and back again into various Southeast Asia destinations, including Singapore and Bali — business class all the way.
