US Department ensures BA offers reimbursements following erroneous fare offer

30-Nov-2009 British Airways, in an agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Aviation Enforcement Office, will compensate consumers for cancellation penalties and other expenses incurred due to the carrier’s erroneous offer of $40 fares between the United States and India. The lowest U.S.-India fare being offered by British Airways prior to the mistaken ad, not including taxes, was over $750.
