I understood that.
My question was in regard to the big picture.
If you got ticketed I think you are good to go. Without ticketing I still think has a good chance but wouldn't be shocked otherwise

Still Works. Just follow the link

e.g.

https://www.wideroe.no/book/?l=en&ff=y&f=ewr&fc=&t=zrh&tc=tlv&dep=20140130&dept=A&ret=20140204&rett=A&trip=J&vok=1&yth=0&chd=0&inf=0&c=NO&cur=USD&m=p&rm=WF-EN&r=y

Change the BOLDED info to your destination, and it will show the fares.

Showing fares is not the issue. Getting to payment page is.. are you saying that is working to?

On the right hand side of the flight search page https://www.wideroe.no/book/?l=en, there is a link called my trips (see attached)

After you enter your confirmation number and last name, the following page has a cancel link a quarter of the way down, along with the rest of your reservation info.

Thanks that worked!

Now I just have the correct reservation which I got for around 450 per person.

It does show up in my United, though not yet ticketed.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

FTFY

That's the one million dollar question.

That is still cheap though.
I wonder if the price I got for Rosh Hashana is their standard price...

Seems like a small airline won't be able to handle the fallout from a mistake like this. I don't see how this doesn't send them into bankruptcy
They're part of SAS which is much larger, and may have gov support (unsure about that though).

I assume they are a separate business entity from SAS and as such SAS would not have to take on the losses if it's not sustainable


This was all over the web, not limited to Dan"s deals or TLV/Jewish limited. I imagine there were tens of thousands of bookings at losses of hundreds of dollars per ticket

Perhaps, but from a few posts I had seen on FT, it didn't seem that way.
