also, trying to book on the CX website shows a price of over $3K.
tried the same from EWR and same results.
For those who booked via the Amex IAP, did you just call in and provide your routing/class/dates and the agent was able to confirm its the same fare? (pre discount)
There's often a disconnect between what you see on GF versus what you see on CX's website. You may need to add a stopover in MLE to get the pricing you're looking for.
Go to CX and do a flexible date search. It will show you the dates that fare is available. For the first week of June, the fastest trip departs June 8 and returns June 10, requiring a 24hr stay in MLE.
