A computer glitch at Etihad has helped up to thousands of airfare watchers nab tickets for flights from New York to Abu Dhabi for as low as $190.
First spotted by TheFlightDeal.com on Christmas morning and mistakenly interpreted as a major holiday seat sale, fares posted were as low as $187 from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport to Abu Dhabi.
Likewise, long-haul trips from the US to destinations like Johannesburg, Manila, India and Hong Kong were being advertised at half their normal rates, with fares as low as $600.
A flight from JFK to Seychelles was also listed as $588.
An Etihad spokesperson confirmed to Forbes magazine that the ‘sale’ was in fact a systems glitch, but that the airline would honor the deeply-slashed fares.
