Whenever we have to travel by plane, the cost of flight tickets comes in the way. Many people avoid traveling abroad only because the tickets are very expensive. As much as it does not cost in your total tour, half of it is just the cost of the ticket. But in the past, due to the mistake of a Japanese airline, the passengers became silver. The ticket which used to be sold for up to Rs 8 lakh on normal days, was bought by passengers for just Rs 24-25 thousand.
According to Bloomberg’s report, business class passengers were looking for tickets to Japan the most. Only then did he see tickets for the flight of All Nippon Airways (ANA). He was surprised to see because their price was only $ 300 to $ 550. Many passengers even booked tickets from Jakarta to the Caribbean via Tokyo and New York for as little as $890. In normal days, it costs thousands of dollars, because the distance between them is about 9000 miles.
Got tickets at 20 times less price
Many lucky passengers got tickets at 20 times less price. Usually, the airline’s business class tickets cost between $8,300 and $10,400, but somewhere it was available for $300 and somewhere for $500. Some active users bought business class tickets for just a few hundred dollars. Johnny Wong, who works in the airline industry, told that he had booked a return ticket from Jakarta to Honolulu in business class for 13 million dong, ie $ 550. While it is currently being sold for around $8,200. Later this news spread rapidly and the mistake was rectified. It is not yet known how many people took advantage of this deal.
currency conversion problem
After this, the airline issued a statement. Told that there was some technical fault in his website, due to which there was a problem in currency conversion. The airline did not say how many people managed to buy the discounted tickets, but said it was looking into the extent of the loss. The company claimed that it would retain the bookings made during this period but later backtracked. Said that no official decision has been taken in this regard yet. A decision will be taken by the end of the month. But those who have taken tickets for the first week of May will be given a chance to travel on that ticket. Most of the tickets bought at the cheapest rates were from Indonesia’s capital Jakarta to Japan and then to New York and then to various South East Asian countries like Singapore and Bali.
