United Airlines' customers were left very angry on Wednesday evening
after the company said that they would be voiding all of the tickets that were
sold at a hugely discounted rate because of a computer glitch.
The error, which was identified by visitors to the website on the morning of Wednesday, which saw that the first class, round trip and transatlantic flights were on offer for as littler as just $74, if travellers had registered themselves as being located in Denmark.
