Trouble Buying ITA Matrix Airfare
Techie booking question for people far more learned than I.
I see this (rather good) rate for a last minute trip to SFO next week. I can't get it to price anywhere (BA, Kayak, Expedia). Am I missing something or is a phantom fare which isn't actually bookable somehow? I have emailed my travel agent but thought I'd also seek advice from the FT crowd
Any help much appreciated.

I get the same price on ba.com for the flights in the PDF attachment. Not sure why you're having problems booking it online.

To book fares off ITA Matrix it cannot be completed alone.
To book this fare you can use bookwithmatrix.com which will price up the current fare as published on ITA Matrix.
I would recommend google Flights as it's more user friendly.

Sometimes this can be from a POS issue.
I'm not always sure what POS ba.com believes I'm in, especially when I accidentally leave my VPN on and I'm logging in from some lounge. I then price something up in ITA Matrix with one POS and pass another to ba.com
