Do you think they should honor the tickets?
United Airlines mistakenly offers free fares Thursday
Even low-cost carriers can't compete against this: United Airlines on Thursday was briefly giving away tickets for free or negligible fees.
United says it accidentally filed fares for zero dollars, although airport charges could have resulted in a small cost. Passengers reported buying tickets for $5 to $10.
Nancy Ilk, a consultant who flies often from Blooming Prairie, Minn., said she got one of the tickets for $10 to fly from Minneapolis to Houston and Washington's Reagan National and back in October. The $10 was noted as a Sept. 11 security fee.
She's waiting to see whether United will honor the ticket. "It should be interesting," she said.
