Similar prices to pretty much everywhere in Asia, with awful connections... everywhere. e.g. BKK is 857, HK is 1055, etc.
Doesn't price out anywhere (neither OTAs nor MF's website) so I somehow doubt it's actually bookable.
Where do you see it bookable? Prices never stay when I try to click through to anywhere, not OTAs nor MF.

Fare class for the long-haul legs is Z, which earns 0% on Delta, FlyingBlue, and everybody else:

Here's an example booking (ITA->BookWithMatrix): https://bookwithmatrix.com/ac271a6ab...afd2088cf0a6e2
Couldn't get it to price even though ITA shows the airfare.

I don't think the fare was ever there. It's been showing up as a phantom all morning. $585 to SZX if you can get it to work, but apparently the only currencies that you can buy the tickets in are unicorn horns and leprechaun gold.

Just for giggles I was able to book and ticket this from ITA via powertools and priceline. However, it booked into Economy, and this was confirmed by pulling my e-ticket up on Xiamen's site and trying to select seats.
So yes, it is bookable, but not in business.

Yup. Had a minor heart attack this morning when Google alerted me to this price, but it's just a mismatched fare class - Z is economy on MF (verifiable by the fare rules for the fare in question on ExpertFlyer), but Google and ITA mistakenly think it's business.
