New York – United Airlines will not be honoring the mistake in shockingly low trans-Atlantic flight prices many were able to purchase Wednesday due to a third-party software mistake with currency conversion.

On its Web Site United said the several thousand wrongly priced bookings would be voided.
United Says the mistake came about after the software wrongly converted the British pound and Danish kroner.
The low flight prices were for flights leaving the United Kingdom when one would book on United’s Denmark page, meaning U.S. fliers were able to book the cheap flights if they set their home country to Denmark.
Flight prices ranged anywhere from $193 for a first-class fare from London to Honolulu, connecting in the U.S., or as low as $51 to fly from Newcastle in Northeast England to Newark, New Jersey.
Sorry Mr. Dan!
The lawyers are shapening their pencils.
Dan Steals, not deals. This was outright gerbils, stealing from a company because of a mistake. If the heimishe grocery puts the wrong sticker on a food would you fight with the owner that he should give you the wrong price? If he gives you $5 too much change do you keep it or return it? Its a shame that most if the people who bought these tickets and are now complaining were going to or from EY, at least based on the comments on Dans site. Are we that dishonest?
