Paste the text I posted into the From and To fields on the dates you want. Part of it is described here.

YYZC2, thank you kindly for sharing!

actually, I don't see the fare on KVS anymore. As an example, 6/1-8/8 have availability in E, but pricing is 723 as opposed to 96$ less than an hour ago.

Dead

I can pretty much officially say that this is now dead. In the Apollo tariff the $50.00 fare was listed and bookable until about 1:00pm. I had a booking priced and ready to go for Jun 11 returning on June 17/18 for $130.00. At about 1:05 pm PST the fare had disappeared and was replaced by this:
>$DYYCMAH20JUN-NLX+JK
YYC-MAH SAT-20JUN09 JK
MPM 6279 AT

PUBLIC FARES

I'll go ahead and mark this thread (fare gone). If anyone finds that it's still bookable, please PM me or my CO-Moderators, and we will change the title.

Just curious as to whether anyone here knew what the reason for this fare was?

Is it human error? Is there an employee at SpanAir being hung from the rafters as we speak?

I also need a quick tutorial on power using ITA, seems like you can do some amazing things with it.

I have to say, I've really surprised by the lack of interest this fare has raised.

As a Star Aliance deal, putting the miles into UA, the CPM is .00975 based on the all-in fare of $98.

Sure glad I was able to get in. It's not everyday that someone on the West Coast tells their friends and colleagues they're off to Spain for the week-end

Tough to get to Calgary, no possible immediate turnaround, scant availability, murderous Euro exchange... take your pick.

Let me know if you find a car hire for less than $120/day... ouch!

travel.yahoo.com yielded $54/day rentals for my dates, before trying to work any discounts.

Reposition fare at $423 and don't want to do a long bus ride, so I didn't click "buy" button...

Check Flyertalk twice a day

This is the second fat finger deal passing through YYZ that I've missed this year by a few hours. Check Flyertalk twice a day. Ironically, I was thinking a few hours before the OP, that YYZ was due for another one.

We'll probably never know, though simple and straightforward human data entry error is the likeliest explanation.

Congrats to all who grabbed the deal. Carpe deal!
