That's different because it's not obvious to them, especially since you waited so long. Your parent comment is referring to situations where it's obvious some sort of mistake was made and yet you jump on it and exploit it knowing that something wasn't right.
- jrochkind1 12y agoHow do I know what fares are obviously mistakes? Fare prices are all over the place. They quite often charge less for a round-trip than a one-way to the same destination, which is not a mistake at all, that fact makes it clear that it's not obvious which fares are mistakes and which aren't, or I'd think all of those were!
- redblacktree 12y agoIt may not always be obvious, but as an example, the $1.86 flight that another poster mentioned should certainly trip your "this isn't right" sensor.
- giarc 12y agoYet he completed the trip. How hard would it be for the airlines to code something that says if price/mile is less than $x.xx, do not post, do not complete transaction, alert development team. And yet they haven't and this continues to happen.
- Spooky23 12y agoWhy? Companies do all sorts of bizarro price offers. Megabus offers $1 fares to encourage pre-booking. Target sells $6 shampoo for 90% off when it sits for awhile. $1.86 may be preferable to an empty chair for some reason. Pretending to be in Denmark to score a deal is acting in bad faith... But if you offer something for sale at a bad price, that's your problem.
- lsaferite 12y agoWell, If I had an account with a billing address in Denmark while I lived in the US, would that suddenly change the morality of the situation?
- jlarocco 12y agoI don't see how either of those things is any more or less obvious than the other.
