Nauti's Take
Instructive: Norse Atlantic shows that radically automated, tech-first customer service can make tickets cheap — the appeal of low prices is real. The catch: when something goes wrong, the human point of contact is missing; dozens of FTC complaints and losses of thousands of dollars reveal the downside of pure automation.
For travelers: bargains yes, but check cancellation and support terms first. A case study in how far service automation should go.
