It looks like it's a Sabre/Travelocity error. The fare rules show:
Fare details for NWUSWEB
Apparently, it's refundable. And no minimum or maximum stay either. It's also available out of other VS gateways like LAX and SFO for slightly higher.

BA is listing $471 all in for the following dates: Depart 11/22; return 11/27. Non-stop SFO-LHR-SFO. Books in N and because its on BA going across the pond it earns nothing on AA.
Very decent price though.

Virgin also earns MQM's on Delta as of Feb. 1, 2006 (or so). You can look it up in the Delta Forum...There is ample discussion...Even "N" earns 1.0 MQM per mile.

Priced out what's probably the same fare on the Virgin website and got this message:
Still sounds like a great deal and I'd definitely consider taking it anyway, but all those just out there for the miles folks may want to think twice.
2 adults USD 378.00 each
Total taxes, fees, charges and surcharges. This includes the September 11th Security Fee of $2.50 per segment, and carrier imposed fuel and insurance surcharges. USD 434.46

Please note that this fare does not qualify to earn Flying Club miles or tier points.
