Regional court prohibits HolidayPirates‘ error fare alerts

19.06.2018

The Munich Regional Court recently addressed the promotion of error fares by an online portal, HolidayPirates, for cheap travel deals. The promotions, which had encouraged customers to book error fares for flights published accidentally by airlines, were deemed unlawful due to a deliberate obstruction of competition in contravention of the Act Against Unfair Competition.
