    WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DELAY MAKING FURTHER PLANS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
    BECAUSE THIS IS AN ERROR-FARE, THERE IS ALWAYS THE SMALL CHANCE THE AIRLINE MAY CANCEL THE TICKET.

    Not exactly confidence inspiring....

    Worth trying anyway. They have honoured these in the past. At worst you'll get a full refund. At best you'll get a dirt cheap trip to China!

    It's an 85 quid return flight to China..
    The chances of getting it are infinitesimal..
    You hardly expect them to be giving advice on which hotels to book?

    Way to read what wasn't written.

    The website refers to it as an "ERROR-FARE", whatever that is. Implies to me that it would be fixed if noticed...

    .

    Yes but the OP stated that this company has honoured error fares before..
    It's a roll of the dice, which many have taken on here before, with a few hitting the jackpot..

    Effectively, Error fares are like a free raffle ticket.

    The odd time you win (they're honoured), most of the time you lose (you're refunded). But when you lose, you haven't really lost anything.

    In about a week or so the airline will confirm if it's honouring the tickets or not. When that comes out, you can book the rest of your trip when the risk if the tickets being refunded is gone..

    Its nothing to do with momondo. You pay them, they pay the airline.
    When it gets to them paying the airline bit the airline will realise their error eventually and say they want 800(or whatever real value is) at which point the transaction will fail.

    Sometimes the airline will give no notice at all theyll just cancel and you have to hope the OTA notifies you.
