A New Year’s travel glitch resulted in a luxury flight from Vietnam to New York City being priced with a massive discount of $15,000. In an unexpected move, the airline has decided to honor the discounted ticket fair.

Flying business or first class from Vietnam to North American cities on Cathay Pacific would normally set one back more than ten thousand dollars, but for a few short hours on New Year’s Day, business class tickets from Vietnam to New York priced at $675 rather than the usual $16,000.
