$1.86 airline tickets
For several hours, US Airways became a true low-cost airline: selling round-trip flights to some US cities for less than $2.
The airline blamed a computer glitch that was fixed after several hours of discounted tickets. Some reports said more than 1,000 tickets were sold.
The airline says it does not know how many people bought the bargain tickets but that it was honoring them.
“Obviously, if we sold any tickets at that rate, we’ll honor them,” said airline spokesman Chuck Allen.
A moderator for FlyerTalk.com, an internet site for frequent fliers, said most of the fares involved flights into Lebanon, N.H., or Watertown, N.Y. But several other cities, including Asheville, N.C., and Hilton Head Island, S.C., were also involved.
