JFK-MXP $275 roundtrip on EK!
Showing up on Kayak, but doesn't seem to price through. Any ideas?
Trying to add a screenshot but for some reason it's not attaching. Dates: March 12-20 for 4 passengers.

Cheapest I can see on ITA is 848 USD per person for those dates, not sure what you're seeing on kayak. Might be a phantom, I find kayak entirely unreliable for actually pricing out...

EK is having another of its 2 passenger sales. May have to be booked as 2 & 2 not 4 to get the price.

Must be an error on Kayak. It just showed me a DL itinerary with same routing 3/11-3/18 for $191.
When it redirected to DL.com it repriced to $600+.

Yup, definitely a weird error on Kayak's end. Tried a few other EU cities, and problem only seems to exist with MXP...weird. Apologies for the false alarm!
It's usually not this egregious but agreed with @Smiley90 -- Kayak seems to show incorrect prices all the time. Although I guess they all do!

I'm seeing AZ $238 (1 person, probably a fat fingers fare??) but says $514 surcharge when trying to book. Matrix says 556 per person the cheapest.
Probably some promotion... looking up for 2 comes with cheaper prices. But still $454, not that fare.
Yeah, Kayak is giving the fares without taxes for some reason.

This route is turning into a bloodbath. UA was/is offering sub 500 on EWR-MXP. With 5 airlines running 250+ seater planes on a route that IMO doesnt warrant that amount of seats, expect great deals until someone throws the white flag.

I think it may be related to this EK promotion: Two to Milan for 899$
I managed to get it to price out to 897 (total for both passengers) for Feb 7 -> Feb 12,16,17, or 18 for example.

Since no one has been able to book this fare, I am closing this thread. If someone is successful in purchasing the posted fare, use the report bad post link to let the moderators know. One of us can reopen the thread.
