Airline ad (2)

I was happy to see in The Jakarta Post of Sept. 2 an advertisement for what I thought was a cheap flight package to the United States.

Feeling like a holiday and having never been to the United States, I had my secretary contact Eva Air direct, only to be told, sorry it was an advertising mistake. The correct wording should have been a discount of US$150 round-trip, not full fare. I first thought they had some gimmick but this type of error "takes the cake".
