The United Airlines website offered return, first class flights from London to Newark for just $74 (£49).
The round-trip first class tickets from Heathrow to Newark, just outside of New York City, were snatched up by lucky holidaymakers for just 491 Danish krone due to an apparent error on the site.
United released this statement:
“United is looking into an issue whereby a third-party software provider applied an incorrect exchange rate for tickets sold from the airline’s Denmark website.
We have temporarily suspended sales from the Denmark website and are working to resolve the issue with the provider.”
Prior to the confirmation of the technical blunder, United Airlines removed ‘Denmark’ from the dropdown menu and travel blog Dansdeals added that united.com stopped pricing any tickets in Danish Kroner.
This prevented people from getting cheap flights via the glitch.
