Offbeat | South African Airways refunds customers after bungle

South_African_Airways_Airbus_A340-600_PER_Monty-1It looked like a steal: USD72 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 said Thursday that it erroneously published the incorrect fare and that it was 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 $3,400.
