Airline blunder sells $10K Asia-US business class tickets for $300

Lucky travelers scooped up heavily discounted plane tickets after a Japanese airline encountered a currency conversion blunder this week — with some passengers scoring $10,000 tickets for a mere $300.

Other attentive customers bought business-class tickets for a few hundred dollars — a steal compared to the usual $10,000 cost. News of the pricing error rapidly spread across social media, though it’s unclear how many people took advantage of the deal. The airline has not said how many people managed to purchase discounted tickets, but said it was “investigating the cause of the bug and the size of its damage.”
