A Jetstar passenger has irked the airline by finding a loophole allowing him to book 58 flights for $0 - and the two parties are now locked in a legal battle.
Lawyer Tyrone Barugh booked a flight from Auckland to Sydney for $260 and received a free return fare as part of a promotion Jetstar was running.
He then cancelled the outbound flight and was given credit with the airline - but did not cancel the return trip.
Mr Barugh then used the credit to book another flight, before doing the same thing a further 57 times.

The would-be passenger told News.com.au that he had not planned to board any of the flights.
Has taken Jetstar to the Disputes Tribunal of New Zealand, claiming he is entitled to about $4,500 in taxes owed on the flights.
He claims he is due the money as he has paid the Passenger Movement Charge – which is a $60 fee the Australian Government collects when a person leaves the country.
Mr Barugh says he would accept a settlement of a 'small flight credit and a toy plane'.
A spokesman for Jetstar declined to comment while the matter is before a tribunal.
