Not looked today. Sale was available yesterday. That fare price sounds like you have lots of BA code shares. They claim they need YQ even for flights they don’t operate
Yeah. That doesn’t work. Some people have had some success manipulating ITA matrix. I just use a Perth based TA. For $50 booking fee. She just does it.
it never really went away. Been seeing it for months. I use a competent travel agent familiar with this fare (i trained her) in Perth. PM or reply here if you want her details.
