If you indeed did get this fare, I think it can be chalked up as a system glitch. I'm a skeptic and will believe it only when I see the link. Sounds like you've been tipping the Bushmills a wee bit too much and are imagining things.

It's in pounds because it was through expedia.co.uk. I rarely use expedia, and tried it on the off chance I might find something.
I thought it was a glitch, too, so I went to Air France's site, and while the fare wasn't quite as good, it was only 235 pounds for 2.
I couldn't believe it. I'd been looking for a couple of months, and found nothing for less than 400 pounds each, and most were 500-600 pounds.

Dates were out on July 6, back on July 15. The only problem is a tight transfer in Paris on the way out, about an hour. Since we're just on holiday, I didn't care. So we're not going to check any luggage, as we plan to stock up on everything while we're in the US. Only flying into Canada, then driving south.

I have heard of glitches like this, but I have never been lucky enough to have gotten one myself. From what I have heard though, you are entitled to the posted fare - glitch or not. Did you receive confirmation e-mails etc. ? Print out whatever you have that shows the fare you booked and paid for just incase anything is disputed.
Enjoy your trip!!

When you use Expedia you will not get a confirmation (it will not allow you to finalize the booking)unless the site has confirmed the flight with the airline..obviously that happened so you got the flight, "glitch" or not.
I don't see any reason to be anal about "calling the airline" unless it makes you feel better. It probably wasn't a glitch but rather seats the airline couldn't move so they got deeply discounted. Consider yourself fortunate and have a great trip.

I did get a confirm e-mail. Keep meaning to check my credit card, but haven't yet. I always call to confirm my regular flight. After having to do a mad dash from Aldergrove to Belfast City airport because British Midland changed its airport between when I arrived in Northern Ireland and when I departed, I always always confirm.
