[UNBOOKABLE FARE] DL: WAS-LHR/MEXICO $5-$40 - Can't find an OTA to book
Searching Google Flights (not ITA) one-ways WAS-LHR/MEXICO,PLS,MBJ is $5-$40 or $100 rt in economy/business class. Other city pairs seem to also work, but can't find any OTA that will show this price. This weekend only seems to show.

can you be more specific with sample date and routing for us to be able to help replicate it elsewhere?
where does Google Flights give you as redirects for booking?

Looks like there is something going on but maybe not a bookable mistake.

I can pull up a one-way WAS-LHR, but where are you finding a return to? (I realize this is just a mind exercise at this point, I'm just trying to replicate it what the OP found).

Seems like a Google glitch. Like others, I'm able to see the fare initially on Google Flights, but when I select actual flights, the price jumps way up. Don't see a fare published for any of these routes on ExpertFlyer, and unable to replicate on any OTA.
