I get $3424 on AC.com in Z
The lower fare on expedia (I get $2733) is using a fare booking code of U.
Expedia prices this as a business class fare - but in the rules it is economy:
Fare Basis Code: UUPZ14LP
V FARE BASIS BK FARE TRAVEL-TICKET AP MINMAX RTG
1 UUPZ14LP Z R 2473.00 ---- 14/‡ SU/ 1M PA01
PASSENGER TYPE-ADT AUTO PRICE-YES
FROM-YWG TO-SEL CXR-AC TVL-09JUN09 RULE-KR01 IPRP/3
FARE BASIS-UUPZ14LP SPECIAL FARE DIS-N VENDOR-ATP
FARE TYPE-EAP RT-ECONOMY ADVANCE PURCHASE
CAD 2473.00 CONS E20MAR09 D-INFINITY FC-UUPZ14LP FN-
SYSTEM DATES - CREATED 19MAR09/1731 EXPIRES INFINITY
Perhaps Expedia and the GDS's (Apollo also picks this up as a business fare) are picking up the UP in UUPZ14LP and pricing it as a business fare as many of the US airlines offer.
Not sure if the the UUPZ14P is is really a business fare or an error in the system

Ywg-icn $2800
I booked it last week. It was supposed to be a Z fare. Seats are guaranteed in business (confirmed with AC). I was very surprised b/c it was about $1500 cheaper than AC website.
The code is UUPZ14LP. Hopefully AC will consider as business.
