Annoyingly, the Euro signs on my thread have either disappeared or been replaced by random symbols.
Does anyone know how to fix that?

Seems to have gone through OK (€277 out late Nov, back mid Dec). Cork > Hong Kong via Heathrow.

Would have liked to have taken up the Beijing flight but the Chinese Visa requirements for a tourist are a pain in the hole requiring up to go up to the Embassy twice - feck that.

Prices seem to be per leg to me.

Cork to Hong Kong 246
HK to Cork 246

500 in total - still very good in fairness!

No they aren't.
These are roundtrip prices.

Not that I can see from the dates i chose anyway...

On the website it says that these flights could be cancelled due to the error code. Would you get refunded if that happens?

I don't have a credit card at the moment, do I have the same recourse if I purchase with visa debit?

Of course you get refunded.
With Error Fare tickets, the airline can (very rarely) choose to not honour the error.

Refunds are paid and you simply don't get your ridiculously priced ticket.

Approx 85% of the time, however, Error Fare are honoured.

Any chance of a screenshot of the final price for one.
Cork to Hong Kong for example?

I looked in November/December - Outbound 246 - Return 246 = total of 491.68

Looks like I just got tickets from Cork to Bangkok for €270 each return confirmed!

I have received the booking confirmations and also the Booking Reference numbers for both Aer Lingus and British Airways so it looks like it has gone through and can't be cancelled now!

This has to be the best Bargain I have ever got from the BA forum!

Did you book with Kilroy ?

Schipholtickets.com is who I booked it with and it looks to all have come through properly.

I booked Cork > Hong Kong rtn with them. I've got the e-ticket numbers for all flights and the ref numbers to check in on Aer Lingus/BA. All legs of the journey are shown on the BA website, but check-in is too early.

What dates did you get Cork-Bangkok 270?

Thanks.

Out of interest, what dates? Can't seem to get dates

Danny2580

Just booked Cork-Bangkok-Dublin with Kilroy for €297. The "dump" flight is the outbound, so the return doesn't necessarily have to be to Cork.

June. You have to do a bit of jiggery pokkery on dates.

Shannon-Hong Kong for 10 days in May for €277.44 return in the bag :eek:

There seems to be a problem with their website now

MrStuffins

Before the website problem popped up, I managed to grab myself return Shannon - Bangkok for €280 or so!

All confirmed, e-tickets issued etc.

Someone said earlier that 85% of the time these occurrences are honoured...... how true is this?

Zardoz

Interesting all the people going to Bangkok ,I wonder what the attraction is

Theyre usually ok, but the clue is in the title. Its an error fare.
Dont book hotels or anything non refundable for at least a couple of weeks, the airline can cancel. your booking is with the OTA. The OTA give the airline the money and they could turn round and cancel if they see it as an error.

Should be fine tho, Im going to Lima in a coupla weeks for 300.
First rule of error fare, do not call the airline and ask if its an error.

daveyjoe

I booked a couple of hours ago, paid and got the confirmation screen with a "reservation code" but I haven't received any confirmation email :-(. Booked through schipholtickets.com.

Davey Devil

Cheers Tommy!!! Me and the missus off to Thailand next June thanks to yourself. €325 each with only small layovers on the connecting flight. Paid more to fly to Paris for the Euros. Great bargain!

mansize

I booked Bejing! €270+ 30 for the insurance

Hey fingers crossed!

mansize

Wait, am I the only guy that picked Bejing?

mansize

How likelihood is cancellation after you get your eticket?

madmoe

This still working??

Click the link for yourself and find out:)

I think once the eticket is issued and you have a confirmation number etc. that will allow you to login to the BA website then there is very little chance that they will cancel it...

Just remember to get you visa at the embassy in Dublin well in advance, and double check, the last time I got one they only accepted postal orders for payment!

Did people get tickets already?

reni10

Yes I got my confirmation and eticket numbers etc.

You may need to check your Spam as my confirmations where in there because they were in Dutch!

Professey Chin

Got mine and it's all on the airline site too

Just double checked and the flights have been confirmed on both Aer Lingus & British Airways websites.

Am I right in thinking we're all good now? Now that they've been confirmed they shouldn't be changed?

I don't think they can cancel our change them now as the eticket is legally binding especially now that the airline's have confirmed as well!

Did ye get separate mails with the e-tickets?

I got a separate mail with an e-ticket. Think it landed in my spam folder
