Japanese airline All Nippon Airways had a currency conversion error, resulting in travelers paying for as low as $890 in first-class flights worth P16,300 .reported that others also grabbed business flight tickets for a few hundred dollars instead of the usual $10,000 or so.
ANA Holdings said its Vietnam website had an error that caused the incorrect conversion rates. The company said it was “investigating the cause of the bug and the size of its damage."A spokesperson for ANA initially said the airline would honor the tickets already purchased, according to Bloomberg, though the company later on clarified that will make a final decision by the end of April.
The discounted tickets will still be valid for the people who will fly before that decision is made, ANA added. The cheapened tickets mainly came from Jakarta in Indonesia to Japan, and then to New York and back again to Southeast Asian destinations like Singapore and Bali.In 2019, Cathay Pacific Airways sold first and business-class tickets from Vietnam to the United States for $675 instead of the usual $16,000. The airline honored the fares, according to Bloomberg.
