<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">How could it be a mekach taut? From
the point of view of the buyer, it looked like a sale. In fact,
someone posted about it to Facebook, and if I hadn't gotten there too
late, I'd have gotten some of the cheap tickets. From the point of
view of the reseller (because this was on Expedia's site and not El
Al's), it's hard to say. If they made the mistake, as an shaliach of
El Al, presumably their shlichut was invalid, and they had no right to
sell those tickets. So possibly it was even geneiva on their part. If
there's any cause of action here, it seems to be that El Al should be
able to demand the difference from Expedia. People who bought the
tickets should be free and clear. And in fact, while El Al announced
that they're going to honor the tickets, they didn't say anything about
taking the loss themselves.<br>
