TOKYO: Eagle-eyed travellers snapped up heavily discounted tickets in the fanciest cabins on All Nippon Airways after a currency conversion blunder, with one paying just $890 for first-class flights from Jakarta to the Caribbean via Tokyo and New York, and back again.
That 14,500-kilometre journey would typically cost nearly 20 times as much in first class on ANA. Others grabbed tickets in business class for just a few hundred dollars instead of the usual $10,000 or so, with news of the glitch spreading on social media platforms.
