A couple of friends had the opportunity to take advantage of this and visit Abu Dhabi and Dubai for a weekend.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2014-12-25_auh_jfk.png\" alt=\"2014 12 25 auh jfk\"><\/p>\n<p>At first, everyone thought it was a pricing error. Then some media outlets raised the point that this was a way for Etihad to get noticed by the American public against its rivals Emirates and Qatar Airways. Error or marketing, we will never know.<\/p>\n<h4>Airline marketing<\/h4>\n<p>Then there are &#8220;attractive fares&#8221; like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/?p=324\">$99 for a one-way flight between Montreal and Iceland on WoW Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6928\" title=\"o wow air facebook\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/o-wow-air-facebook-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"o wow air facebook\" width=\"690\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/o-wow-air-facebook-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/o-wow-air-facebook-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/o-wow-air-facebook-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/o-wow-air-facebook-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/o-wow-air-facebook.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This fare does exist, and the airline is promoting it. But here the company has chosen to &#8220;slice and dice&#8221; all its pricing into options like when you buy a car.<\/p>\n<p>So here, &#8220;standard equipment&#8221; is your place in this flight. The options will be the choice of the seat, the luggage (even the luggage in cabin superior to 5 kgs), the meals. In short, all options that are usually included in other companies doing the transatlantic route.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1455\" title=\"wow 3\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wow-3-1024x525.png\" alt=\"wow 3\" width=\"638\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wow-3-1024x525.png 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wow-3-450x231.png 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wow-3-200x103.png 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wow-3-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wow-3.png 1654w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/>This type of fare will attract attention, but will also satisfy many people who prefer to travel light and buy their own food&#8230; which gives them the opportunity to travel to Iceland for the same price as a train ticket to Quebec City!<\/p>\n<h4>The real pricing error<\/h4>\n<p>But what we are most interested in is the real price error. The one that allows us to travel to the other side of the world for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>3 reasons for this pricing error:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1\/ The computer problem due to the carrier\/fuel overload<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The famous fuel surcharge &#8211; renamed carrier surcharge &#8211; that airlines implemented in the 2000s, causes most of the pricing errors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57106\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57106\" style=\"width: 618px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/details-ac-ita.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4962 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/details-ac-ita-1024x711.png\" alt=\"details ac ita\" width=\"618\" height=\"429\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The carrier surcharge, often categorized as &#8220;YQ&#8221;: if this one disappears, it is $456 less on the cost of this ticket.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The airlines&#8217; computer systems were made before the introduction of this type of surcharge and do not allow, in some cases, to add it to the ticket price.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, when only one company is involved in a ticket&#8230; there is no problem.<\/p>\n<p>Things get more complicated when several airlines appear on the same ticket: <strong>a single journey by one airline can make the carrier surcharge applied by the other airline disappear<\/strong>&#8230; which results in a drastic drop in the total cost of the ticket!<\/p>\n<p>In the jargon of the forums, this is called<em><br \/>\n  <strong>Fuel Dumping<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2\/ A computer problem from a third party service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is called<em><br \/>\n  <strong>OTA Glitch<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em>&#8220;. OTA stands for<em>&#8220;Online Travel Agencies<\/em>&#8220;. These are all agencies that resell airline tickets on behalf of airlines: Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But these agencies themselves face computer problems, and interesting errors can then appear!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58458\" style=\"width: 722px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/one-travel-new-zealand.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6480\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/one-travel-new-zealand.png\" alt=\"one travel new zealand\" width=\"722\" height=\"230\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-58458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here, only the OTA OneTravel has an unbeatable price of $357 CAD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>OTA Glitch&#8221; occurs when the error cannot be replicated on the airline&#8217;s website or through another travel agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3\/ Human error<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is perfect. It is not &#8211; yet &#8211; only machines that set ticket prices through<em>yield management<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>All it takes is one misplaced comma when programming the price in the computer systems&#8230; and a $999.00 ticket is displayed at $99.90. This was the case last September for a little while: Air Canada was posting fares between Montreal and Paris for $245 round trip.<\/p>\n<h2>Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>Whatever happens, whether it&#8217;s a promotion or a price error&#8230; you must be reactive and book quickly!<\/p>\n<p>But be careful: you can never be sure that your ticket will be cancelled. This is less frequent when the flight has been booked directly on the airline&#8217;s website than through a third party agency.<\/p>\n<p>So, <strong>wait until you receive confirmation of your ticket<\/strong> (usually the electronic ticket you receive by email will be proof), <strong>before making your arrangements<\/strong> (hotel reservations, car rental&#8230;)!<\/p>\n<p>We will relay to you on the Facebook group the main &#8220;flight alerts&#8221; that we will see here and there!
