300 Passengers Booked First-Class Qantas Roundtrip Seats Between Australia And The US For As Low As $3,390; But There's A Catch

Qantas Airlines is the flag carrier of Australia, and the largest airline by fleet size, international flights, and international destinations in Australia and Oceania.

Qantas Airways has announced that it will be downgrading hundreds of passengers who secured first-class tickets at a heavily discounted rate due to a coding error last week. The Australian airline sold approximately 300 first-class round-trip tickets between the United States and Australia for as low as $3,390—an 85% reduction from the usual price of $13,000 to $20,000.

A Costly Mistake
