    From t&cs

    We will do our best to correct errors and omissions as quickly as practicable after being notified of them. However because of the sophisticated technology that is required in operating lastminute.com there may be times when obvious errors occur. For example, very occasionally, this may result in a price, product or service or other detail displayed or presented on a Channel being incorrect. In this case we reserve the right to cancel that contract, but this of course will be without any liability to you.

    i see, only i understood it to be that once they have accepted the offer and you have received the confirmation email that you have entered into a binding agreement with them. they have also taken the money from my bank to pay for tickets

    Thats why they have these clauses in their t&cs to get out of any unfortunate situations like pricing errors.
    But hey im no expert and never been lucky enough to find flights to Tenerife for that price.You might get lucky but dont be to dissappointed if they cancel your flights.
