When you can buy something at a 90% discount that is at an unadvertised price by buying it in a different currency than it was quoted, it should be completely obvious that it is a pricing error.
As for pilots flying standby, it's a perk of being an employee in the industry. Every single industry has perks for those within it.
- nimblegorilla 12y agoWhy is it obvious? Many goods and services are sold discounted for pennies on the dollar. I might have thought it was a pricing error or I might have thought it was some sort of bizarre Danish Groupon-esque marketing ploy. bookingbuddy.com is currently advertising 80% off sales. I don't see how 90% becomes unreasonable compared to that.
- reverend_gonzo 12y ago1) It wasn't for Danish customers. It was English customers who were trying to paying using Danish currency. 2) Booking buddy is advertising the sale. 3) "Bizarre Groupon-esque marketing ploy" depends on marketing. Companies don't intentionally, and without advertising, discount shit for 90% off, but only when you find a backdoor method to get there. You're either really grasping at straws to legitimize this, or you're completely clueless about how the world works.
- rbcgerard 12y agoActually there can be significant pricing differentials based on the country of purchase (which is done ON PURPOSE by the airlines) - for example usually LAN is much cheaper to book via their Chliean website then via the US website...
