A number of lucky travellers were able to pick up business class plane tickets for a fraction of their usual price after a currency conversion error on a Japanese airline’s website.

The premium seats on All Nippon Airways flights were on sale for economy prices, with one person managing to grab a round-trip flight from Jakarta, Indonesia, to the Caribbean island of Aruba (with stops in Tokyo and New York) for around £715 – a flight that would usually sell for more than £13,000, according to Robb Report.
