When checking google flights the cheapest price is £239 (direct outbound with a stop in ORD on the way back). I've used ITA a few times before and it has usually priced the cheapest flights on that route. Am i doing something wrong as this is the first time I have used it for US domestic routes only?

ITAMatrix returns fare class D while AA books it into cheaper fare class I, probably just ITAMatrix lagging.
