Unable to replicate Google Flights deal

https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...0-NRTORD0AA154

The flight I found is $602 from HKG to ORD on Jan 10 if I book with JAL according to Google Flights. However, every search engine including JAL the flight is over $1000. Is there anything else I can do to book this fare?

I am seeing prices about 3x what you state while using your Google Flights link (and I'm not looking at HKD). I would guess that deal expired?

Yeah, it's no longer showing. It was there up until about 2 hours ago.

Happens all the time with google flights. Makes it almost useless.

Does anybody know what they are using for availability?
They likely have excellent fare info (via ITA), but maybe their availability source is weak or they are caching too aggressively (given that availability generally costs money and airlines also get upset if you hit them too hard)
