why can't I find this fare/seat?
I'm a little confused. I'm looking to book SFO-RDU, one way, on wed. Sept 2.
Expertflyer tells me that there are tons of seats available in all fare buckets, and it also says that there are published fares (T) as low as $222 one-way.
If there are valid published fares, and there are available seats in the corresponding buckets, what else should be required to make the booking happen?

Unfortunately, that cheap "T" fare has a "no-nonstops" rule in the allowed routings. Thus, you could get the cheap fare only if you route via ORD, IAH, ...
