Swiss International Airlines - Kayak shows US$1090 o/w biz fare BKK-ZRH-LHR - how to book?

I was looking at options for getting from SE Asia to the UK in late October, and Kayak is coming up with a $1090 one way fare in biz from BKK to LHR via ZRH. In the details tab it says the source is swiss.com, but clicking on the link takes me to swiss's site which will then only show flexible (and very expensive) biz class fares.
Are these fares actually real and bookable somewhere/somehow? Should I be trying to find a BKK-based consolidator?
thanks :)

It's still showing up on kayak. Try searching one way, biz class, BKK-LHR October 24th, for example.

If booking one way on the Swiss site, is there any way to book the discounted business fares, as opposed to business flex?

Which site do you use - .com or .co.uk or something on Kayak- I don't see it at all

I'm looking on the US site (www.kayak.com), searching one way BKK-LHR, and it shows up on October 20th. If I switch to UK site, for example, it vanishes. I think it's some kayak quirk.
See it there but reprices to 3x on Swiss.com

It's a well known bug in Kayak, not bookable anywhere. It has been around for many months.

There are no published one-way Business-class Fares in that range:
