Think this fare has had immense take-up. When I booked I had fairly free choice on the AMS-DOH flight, this morning it is "seat map unavailable" and checking EF, all seats booked except the blocked.
Fairly sure this was a genuine sale and they sold out. They appear to have opened up additional R inventory. That said, AMS-HND via DOH is not exactly the most direct route...

July is the rainy season, so maybe that put people off.
I wanted to go in April and May, but couldn't find flights so instead booked for October.

KANPAI!
The inventory was gone very quickly. When I checked first, I had pretty much total flexibility. By the time, I agreed with two of my co-passengers on the dates, the return from HND to BRU was gone and we are sticking to the 77L on NRT-HND.
For the 1,300€ (as advertised Monday at the start of the Festival), I wouldn't have booked it (and probably headed West). The 5 to 6 hours layovers in Bruxelles make the journey ~5 hours longer than the quickest route from my "base in Europe.
That said, I would've spend 780€ on Eco tickets for that connection. Bizz would've been 2,300€ (or 1,900€ with 20 hours layover in Italy). So a total of 10 hours more in traveling, but 500€ (if I had booked Y) to 5,000€ more in the pocket and hopefully still a more comfy arrival than flying 15h in a packed Y:
