for the techies, below is the exact flight.
(I did check ITA again and it shows the same price as originally)
Thanks,

Problem is booking class availability
ITA is seeing something that isn't actually there.

You need V on the outbound and Q on the inbound
Both of which are sold out at this point

Flying on the 17th outbound you can get V but inbound from PVG there is nothing that week available

P.S Im surprised that the Travel Agent didn't mention that
