Best of luck to all whom have ticketed successfully. I missed this one! I’m located in Los Angeles and I travel to Spain quite often and South America as well so I would’ve definitely tried this one even though I’m * alliance

And it starts... Some segments are now missing on my reservation and my girlfriends booking (we are on two separate PNR). Both bookings were intact couple hours ago.
Initial routing : MAD-GRU-SCL // SCL-MAD
One booking misses now the GRU-SCL leg and is considered as "multistop"
The other booking misses the MAD-GRU-SCL and is considered as a one way SCL-MAD.
Both bookings are for a couple months from now.
Intrigued to see what will happen to the departures less than 14 days out...
Also intrigued to see if the IB-issued sale fares at 1k will be honored...

When I try to bring up my booking on Iberia.com I get the following. My booking still shows as confirmed on the OTA website.
I suspect that Iberia is just making sure none of us are seated next to a toilet. Hopefully they aren't stupid enough to walk back their flash sale.
Oops!The booking you are trying to view is no longer available for online management. If you thinks this is an error and you booked your flight on the Iberia website, please contact Customer Service. If you booked through an agency, please contact them.

Exactly the same here, Iberia website shows a flight from MAD to LIM but not Santiago and then the return leg on IB which is direct, but LATAM MMB page shows both outbound segments but not the return segment which is direct on IB (all 3 were showing last night).

I recall from studying contract law (in the distant past) the main 3 components being - offer, acceptance and consideration. All 3 were present, and (while I can't speak for others), I certainly accepted the offer in good faith and duly paid for it.
As someone who searches for airfares continuously and buys dozens of airline tickets annually, I've seen fares high and low, and have absolutely no way (nor desire) to second guess the reasoning of the other party. They made the offer voluntarily, and I accepted it voluntarily. The contract was properly formed.
Any insinuation about "mistake fare" that passenger "ought to know" about is just that - pure speculation.

Why make life so uneasy for yourself.
If the tix sticks then pack your bags and go enjoy.
If it doesn't stick anytime from now to the date before you fly, just accept the fact "it does not stick, Oh well!" and go Hunt for the next one.
Not a big deal for just $300ish bucks.

What is a mistake fare? 1K RT ticket is a mistake fare or a great offer? You can buy <20 euros ticket with IB on PMI-MAD flight. Do I have to call them every time before booking and ask if it is a mistake fare or not, just to make sure that some days later they do not cancel this booking because it was too cheap?

there is no such thing as a mistake airfare. There is nothing but intentionality in the entire process of loading an airfare. The M word is simply airline propaganda used only when it suits them. If you mistakenly buy a $150 MAD-FCO ticket on Iberia and then notice that Ryanair sells the same ticket for $7 do you think Iberia would respect your mistake!?
