United Airlines to Honor Tickets it Accidentally Sold for Nothing
Good news for those who cashed in on a web glitch
United Airlines said on Friday that it will honor the tickets it accidentally gave away for free.
The decision is good news for people who snapped up the tickets on Thursday after United listed airfares at $0. Many customers got tickets for $5 or $10, paying only the cost of the Sept. 11 security fee.
The mistake was an especially good deal for any passengers who bought tickets for travel within the next week. For instance, a Houston-to-Washington Dulles flight for next weekend would have cost $877, according to United's website on Friday.
