And the funny thing is that these two offers cost (500+400) ~900 EUR... And this is only for the outbound flight!

Is this a kind of bait and switch?

(Maybe the price is the same no matter your fare type, and it's more profitable for a special/saver ticket ?)

Cheers
The price is afaik the same for all tickets so saving to be had if you had a y special and you didn't want to fly y it's a good deal!
