msy-bom $329
I've had 3 fare alerts from FareCompare in the past five days for msy-bom round trip for $329, an obviously great MR if it actually exists, but all of my searching using ita (and airline websites) has not turned up anything under $1000 -- has anyone run across this deal? When and on which airline?

I tried all sorts of date combinations starting now through the end of February (duration 4 to 10 days) , using a lot of airlines (including UA, EY, LH). I'm very skeptical of FareCompare, and recognize that even if it's a legitimate fare it could disappear in a few hours -- but three alerts in 5 days gave me encouragement.

FareCompare frequently ignores fuel surcharges when reporting fares. The price you are seeing most likely includes only the base fare and government taxes.
