Well, the fare has been up here for 3 weeks and on CO.com for at least a couple. So, yes I had luck with ticketing it, but that was on Nov 17. And yes, there are still seats availabile in L for $99 OW--you just have to look a bit, but you probably will be paying 199 for the other leg--still not a bad deal at under 400 all in.
here is more info in the MR threads:

I tried yesterday for early April but couldn't get it.... and IAH-EWR fares for those dates more than offset any savings for $198. Tried several combos and nothing worked to get it.

Snagged the L fare AND exit row seat assignments for CGN in January for me and my GF. My guess is, as the weather gets warmer (late March Europe switches to "summer" time; aka DST), you are going to have a harder time finding this fare.
It seems it's a low season fare...

My friend is trying to book $99 each way in January from EWR (flexible dates but needs to go by 1/7 and come back at end of month) and can't find anything under $298 RT before tax. I am trying to help her out and I can't get the L fare RT but I'm not sure why. I would think January would be easier to book?

When the fare was first listed on Flyertalk, it was available for almost any date in April/May w/o a problem. Ever since CO officially announced it on their website, the best dates quickly went away.. I dont think there are any dates left in April/May.
