Australia’s Qantas makes mistake in selling first class tickets at 85% discount; 300 people purchase them
豪カンタス航空が先週、米国往復便のファーストクラスのチケットを誤って通常の８５％引きで販売した
Australia’s Qantas Airways mistakenly sold first-class tickets for round-trip flights to the United States at an 85% discount last week.
Approximately 300 people found this on the official website and purchased it, but the airline realized the mistake and had to reschedule their reservations.
サイトでは２２日に一時、通常なら最大で往復２万８０００豪ドル（約２７５万円）のファーストクラス料金が、約３４００豪ドルと表示された
At one point on the 22nd, the website displayed first class fares, which normally cost up to A$28,000 (approximately 2.75 million yen) round-trip, as approximately A$3,400.
カンタス航空はこの料金で購入した旅行者らに、おわびとして追加料金なしでビジネスクラスのチケットを提供すると表明
Qantas has said it will offer business class tickets at no extra charge to travelers who bought at this price as an apology.
The business has a policy of offering a full refund if the customer is dissatisfied.
カンタス航空は昨年８月に、欠航が決まっていた便のチケットを８万６０００人あまりの顧客に販売し、今年５月に制裁金１億豪ドルの支払いと顧客への補償に同意したばかり
In August last year, Qantas sold tickets to more than 86,000 customers for a flight that was scheduled to be canceled, and in May this year it agreed to pay a fine of A$100 million and compensate customers.
航空会社による同様のミスとしては、香港のキャセイパシフィック航空が２０１９年、ベトナムから北米各都市へのファーストクラス、ビジネスクラスのチケットを誤って往復１０万円程度で販売
In a similar mistake by an airline, in 2019, Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific mistakenly sold first class and business class tickets from Vietnam to cities in North America for around 100,000 yen round trip.
At this time, measures were taken to keep the reservation valid.
