Customers who booked flights on the Aer Lingus website on Wednesday night lucked into an exceptionally good airfare: business-class flights from Ireland to Boston and New York for 5 euros ($7.90).
A glitch on the booking website of the Dublin-based airline allowed travelers to book a business flight for the price of a pint of stout during a test of a two-for-one special offer. About 100 people made the bookings over a 90-minute period before the mistake was discovered.
