- Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
- Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
- Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
- Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
- Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
- The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
- Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

ITA comes up with $1,185 r/t in business on QR from CAI to MPM (only checked January). I can find the fare on Orbitz but when I click book the fare goes up to $1,700-ish. I have tried several OTAs but no success.
Can anyone help with ticketing this by chance? Thanks for the feedback.

My bad, already in year-end mode 
Cairo it is! I also find $1,550 CAI/JNB return tickets but as in case of Maputo, when clicking book on Orbitz the following error message appears:
"As flight availability can change rapidly based on traveler demand, the flight that you have selected is no longer available. Please make another selection."
