Can't get anything book able to pull up, I think sky scanner is just showing ghost fares. Edit: Seems like the $357 is for each way, so $700+ for rt.

Skyscanner had one OTA at $357 RT, but after I clicked through it shot up to $900..

And thats why one should always check the final price
Meta search engines use cached data and not up2date GDS data+availability cause that would be too expensive

It was probably picking up the AKL-LAX special that had on Grabaseat, which was around $700NZD return on AKL-LAX-AKL. Which could only be ticketed in New Zealand on GrabaSeat (NZ).

These fares would of been in F class which = Zero Points on any programme.
