Student Universe are experiencing a glitch whereby one-way flights booked from the USA to London City Airport (& vice versa) are being routed via the British Airways Business Class only flight on the A318 from only $478 / £396.
Appears to be an OTA Glitch.
For those of you who are unaware, British Airways have a Business Class only flight from London City Airport to Shannon, Ireland then to New York, USA (also vice versa, excluding the stop in Shannon). This flight is on an Airbus A318 aircraft and consists of only 32 flat-bed seats. See here.
Because you are not necessarily purchasing a Business Class ticket (you are simply being routed via the British Airways Business Class only aircraft), it is very likely that the domestic US flight with American Airlines will be in Economy Class.
Please note, the Student Universe terms and conditions state: “Some products and benefits are restricted to enrolled students and faculty members at accredited colleges or universities and youth 16-25 years old, others are not.” Let us know in the comments section below if you managed to book yourself a ticket.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DELAY MAKING FURTHER PLANS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
BECAUSE THIS IS AN ERROR-FARE, THERE IS ALWAYS THE SMALL CHANCE THE AIRLINE MAY CANCEL THE TICKET.
