OW from NKC to NYC 144 USD (KL, booking class S)

for the biz class nwa fare, from travelocity, fare rules, indicate its only for jan-march but anyday i try while using the flexible date search, i get no availability in both this march and the coming jan (06)
so maybe there is no availability.
there is pretty much no way i can capitalize on this anyway, but im just wondering, OP, how the hell do you find things like this? were u actually searching for this fare?
thanks

I know I should look it up, but where in the world is this? And why does one go there? Sun? Rainforest?

What good is NKC-NYC? You have to get to NKC first!
If you turn it around (NYC-NKC) the price on opodo.co.uk jumps by about 2/3.
Not that any of us really needs a reason for finding and flying this stuff!!!

Someone here has way too much time on their hands! Don't worry I'm just jealous.
Interestingly I saw in the flight restrictions list for NKC-GRU that NW flights had to be used between PAR and TLN or something like that. Isn't TLN Tallinin where the OP is from - spooky. I think Fokker50 has somehow loaded these fares into the CRS just to try and get a FT meeting in his home town! Maybe kidnap us all and hold us to ransom for all our FF points.

Cheapest fares I can find the other direction are $800...I suppose if you want to cross the ocean four times, and spent a week in Mauritania, that's not too bad. To really take advantage of the price, you'd probably have to take a boat or something to get to NKC, and that turns into a loooong MR...
I do find it highly ironic that it costs about half as much to fly NKC-NYC as it does to fly STL-ORD (about 500 miles). Go figure.
