United honours $5 tickets after web glitch

US flight company United Airlines says it will accept tickets it mistakenly sold this week for next to nothing.
A pricing error on the company's website on Thursday left lucky travellers paying only the security fee of $5 ($A5.40) or $10 ($10.80) on domestic flights.
"We've reviewed the error that occurred yesterday and based on these specific circumstances, we will honour the tickets," the company posted on micro-blogging website Twitter.
Some of the tickets - such as from east coast cities to Hawaii - would normally have cost close to $1000.
The company did not say how many tickets had been sold at the wrong prices.
