Let me give the following example:
The KVS tool gives the following fares - we are interested in the $650ESLLICUS fares. But the Swiss International Airlines web site, does indicate that E class fares are available on those 2 days (going and coming back), but it quotes a fare of just under $1050 (includes all fees and taxes). Why the discrepancy between the quoted fares, between the 2 sites? Obviously, with such a discrepancy, the LX web site would have to be the one relied upon, for booking purposes.
[KVS Availability Tool 3.0.2/Platinum - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/US/CAD]

BOS Boston Logan Int'l MA US [KBOS]
