These hub attacks often last only a couple of hours and end BEFORE they hit the blogs @:-)
In past I've seen deals posted AFTER the fare has already been pulled.

Thank you first time poster
Managed to get MSP-DFW-SLC-SEA-HKG-NRT-ATL-DFW-DWT-MSP for a total of $798 using your fare notice. 19,923MQMs at 4.005cpm. DFW-HKG-DFW routing was $479 plus another $318 for MSP-DFW-DWT-MSP. Now if they'd only had these offers out of MSP!

Just because they filed a discount economy fare does not mean DL intends to omit the YQ. A fare can be an attack fare without it being a mistake.
You guys are delusional..

Oh gee, I wonder why a mistake fare filed with missing YQ would get pulled by Delta once they see it posted on a popular blog and people are booking it.
So interesting, this fare basis "VLE0ZSA1", that you could book from USA when it explicitly states,
I guess this "attack fare" sale ended early, boys! 
Get real.

If you go and look up a bunch of DL HKG fares, you will see that the YR is consistently under $30 from the US.

The fare was filed correctly. It was not a mistake fare. Delta files their fuel surcharges for HKG as a YR. Hong Kong fuel surcharges are generally cheap, in this instance it was under $30.

Secretflying called it an error fare. Even if it isn't, it's long gone now.
