The 19,-EUR fare was a special promo on a few selected short distance point-to-point services on the network !
Bookings were only possible for a short period of time.
So, you´re just lucky to grab that fare !!! And it´s availlable as a one-way only - that´s why it did not show up when looking for a return ticket ...
This fare is no more availlable now !
Now the lowest availlable one is again the common 29,-EUR fare ...
