South African Airways in fare bungle

South African Airways in fare bungle

It looked like a steal: $US72 ($A92) for a round-trip business class ticket on South African Airways between Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi.

The online offer, part of a promotional sale at the end of February, was indeed too good to be true.

The airline says it erroneously published the incorrect fare and that it is refunding customers who had snapped up the tickets. It says 640 bookings were affected.

South African Airways says a regular ticket on the same route in business class sells for about $US3,400.
