There's a huge price difference between ITA price and OTA(expedia, hipmunk etc.) Why is it? Is it ITA error? Thank you.

My guess is that it's related to POS, point of sale. If you can find a Hungarian travel agent they might be able to get this deal. In ITA switch the POS to USA and see if it exists in that market.

There is no availability in "O" for the outbound flights.
