He pulled out 15 pesos tickets to Qatar, the airline made him another offer, and he exploded into the nets.
Influencer Chapu Martínez has more than a million followers on his Instagram account and became famous before the 2018 World Cup in Russia for his viral video in which he said: “Bring me the Messi Cup, bring me the cup”. Despite this, in recent days he found himself in a complex situation after buying four tickets to go to the World Cup in Qatar for 150 pesos. After the purchase went viral, he filed legal proceedings with the airline that led him to take his leave this Wednesday on social networks.
The origin of the conflict was that Chapu was able to take advantage of an error on the website of the travel agency Edreams through which several users obtained plane tickets at ridiculous prices. For example, nine pesos in Madrid. After the purchase, he reported: “We received confirmation from the airline, via the application, via chat, even from the flight, via the airline, even the boarding pass. In home banking we have the charge made by the company “.
He pulled out 150 pesos tickets to Qatar, the airline made him another offer, and he exploded into the nets.
However, in a dialogue with C5N he told how everything got complicated: “Then came the cancellation of the company.” But of course there is now a judicial situation in which there is already a history of sentences in favor of users. “When the boarding passes arrive, we book the hotel, we take a million pesos”, Chapu explained.
That’s why through his Instagram Stories, this Wednesday he continued the story and pointed out: “They have made us an offer to keep our mouths shut. They are offering us money so that they look good and this will not be the case. The offer is because it has been confirmed that we have been scammed.”
To have a dimension of the economic advantage of users thanks to the error of the Edreams website, Aerolineas Argentinas had put its special flights to Qatar on sale at a cost of 1,594,217 pesos per person.
The airline claims it has no company in Argentina and Chapu said it was advised by media attorney Fernando Burlando. “They offered us a ticket to Qatar in cash. Basically I’m going to Qatar. The dream we have is to go with my three friends and that’s why I won’t keep my mouth shut. We weren’t the only four to get tickets. and tickets, for a month people would buy at these prices and then change the value “he exclaimed.
At the close of the video, he remarked that he will continue to assert the case and that together with his lawyer they would have started a lawsuit against the airline accompanied by a precautionary measure. His goal is for the airline to recognize that they have committed a scam, give them a reward proportional to what happened and not just the amount equivalent to a ticket.
