Tickets I can't book

Dear all,
I have very regularly found tickets on ITA matrix with Turkish airlines, where no agency or even Turkish airlines can find or book themselves.

Here is an example of one today, I tried to book without any luck. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for the fast answer, but no, it doesnt work. Once in it pushes the price above 1000 euros again...

If you search around on the TK forurm, you will find some threads about TK fares displayed on ITA Matrix not always matching reality.

ITA Matrix is notorious for stale pricing, which is worse with some airlines such as TK. (which often doesn't work with Google Flights either)

Rather than go crazy trying to book a fare that isn't available, just let it go...

I have seen it work both ways with TK, i.e. sometimes ITA Matrix prices higher than on-the-ground reality, sometimes lower.
