Can anyone help me understand why I'm only being shown a D fare? I've purchased this route many times and I've never paid more than $8k. It's boggling my mind and assume someone smart here can explain
It's one of the considerations you agreed to keep in mind when you turned on Expert Mode:

The presence of a particular fare class does not mean that there is a fare associated with it. For example, we may offer availability in a discounted fare class, but that does not necessarily mean we have published a fare that corresponds to it. (emphasis in original)
