Its an error fare. I have booked it, fare structure shows no fuel surcharge, despite according to ita matrix, it should have 200EUR fuel surcharge. I booked through german OTA, on the ticket, the point of sale is Norway. There is a chance of cancellation, don't book positioning flights or non-refundable hotel stays yet.

Good question, sorry I missed that: 045, LATAM ticket.
Technically yeah, an OTA glitch, which is still sort of an error fare, so there is a significant chance that these will be cancelled. What I meant is just that its not a promo fare, or special discount, it really should be twice the price.

Yeah that is how it looks but Priceline is also pricing it out. For some dates Expedia also prices it.

So looking into the booking classes and such. It is a good price if you want to go to south America. Not the best for millage running as it books into deep discounted tickets and such earn very little miles. (25% by the looks of it)

Ok I was looking at wheretocredit and it showed only 3k miles for the round trip. I have some miles with Delta but not much so have not been looking into getting the statues and best partners. I personally wont be taking this deal. I currently don't want to go to Brazil and only doing it for the MQM feel like too much time in economy. If there where redeemable mile to earn as well I would have flown it.

Why charge fuel surcharges anyway when there is a negative price

What do you mean by the name of the fare? The fare basis code is XS53MML7, but its also visible if you look through matrix.
etix is issued, confirmed, all operators see it, i was able to choose seats (for free because of status)

I mean if the fare is the one you see on matrix and suppose to be that one or if it's clearly stated on your ticket.
