BEIJING: Chinese carrier China Southern Airlines said on Nov 9 it would honor the sale of tickets priced as cheaply as US$1.30 (RM6.10) during a two-hour technical glitch on its mobile phone app and some ticket-booking platforms late on Nov 8.

Consumers began reporting on Chinese social media at around 8pm (1200 GMT) on Wednesday that many flights to and from the southwest metropolis of Chengdu were available at 10, 20 or 30 yuan (RM6.44-RM19.33) on China Southern’s app.
