Shouldnt at least the cheaper SIN-FRA fares be listed there too?
(Do I make sense?)
The Matrix only allows your search to take 60 seconds. Your search of all airports within 500 miles will extend to thousands of possible routes, dozens of carriers, and therefore many millions of valid fares and prices. Unfortunately the Matrix simply does not have time to find all the prices and therefore only presents its best guess.
