The adverts for Latam Airlines appeared in error, the news website says. News website Stuff has blocked adverts appearing on its homepage that purported to show flights could be purchased to South America for as low as $79. The Latam Airlines ads were visible on Thursday this week, but disappeared after inquiries from The Spinoff. The ads, which ran just below the top section of Stuff’s front page, appeared to show that tickets to Rio de Janeiro on the Chilean airline were available for an unbelievably reasonable $79. They had appeared on the site as a “programmatic ad buy” and were not a “direct booking” with Latam Airlines, the news outlet said.
