## Transcript

>> For Delta, a big oops, but for a few lucky customers, right place, right time. -$ 67 for a coach. It was unbelievable. I can't believe my eyes.

>> Unbelievable is right. A glitch Thursday meant some people got some pretty incredible deals.

>> One travel agent in Oklahoma got a round trip, first class seat, from Oklahoma to St. Louis for $ 12. 83. Another customer bought tickets from Florida to Los Angeles for $ 27 each way.

>> And lucky for the people booking online for about two hours Thursday morning. Delta says it's going to honor the super cheap fares. Of course, the glitch is fixed now. So, if you're looking, for example, for a Tallahassee to Los Angeles flight, you definitely won't find a $ 27 ticket on Delta site right now. You might remember earlier this year, something similar happened to United Airlines when an Air allowed travelers to pay just airport fees and taxes. People got flights from DC to Honolulu for just around $ 10. It's not clear exactly how many people scored Delta's sky- high savings. The incorrect prices were offered on Delta's website as well as a few other travel sites.

For TIME, I'm [ unk ].
