Less than two weeks after saying it had a ticketing error that gave away premium seats at huge discounts, Cathay Pacific has done it again.
This time, some visitors to their booking site got lucky on flights from Europe to Hong Kong. The South China Morning Post reported Sunday that the carrier offered first-class seats from Portugal to Hong Kong at a tenth of its original price of $16,000. Since Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. doesn’t fly direct from Lisbon to Hong Kong, the tickets included a leg to London, Zurich or Frankfurt through partner airlines, the newspaper said.
