Google Flights flight cannot be found
I've found an offer on Google Flights which I am not able to book somehow. It's a retour-trip from Amsterdam, Netherlands to San Jose, Costa Rica and Google FLights doesn't has a link to book the tickt. (Direct link to the Google Flight result: http://goo.gl/flights/psHc)
I've already tried to call with Swiss to book the flight, but they tell me they cannot find it either. Also ITA Matrix doesn't show this exact trip. Is this a bug in Google Flights or do I just have to look harder in order to get this ticket? And if so; where do I start looking? I already tried several other booking sites.

If the flight is with Swissair and you can't book it with Swissair, you can assume there is no flight. Or does Swissair have the flight, but not at the price advertised?
The flight and price quite possibly existed at some point. This is implied by the same flight on dates in April, May and June being available at as little as 513 USD, now, as well as them being bookable through United.
Here's an example link (which will probably expire):
Hipmunk lists the flight you searched for at about 1000 USD:
Momondo offers that flight for about 860 euros:
So, you likely found old flight data.

Why are flights showing unavailable?
Re: Unavailable So flights that showed available a few days ago, and are still scheduled but show as unavailable, likely hit the threshold where the airline won't sell anymore seats on them. Since people cancel reservations all the time, you could keep checking to see if that happens on your desired flight.What airlines are not showing on Google Flights?
Not all airlines are on Google Flights. One major exception in the US is Southwest Airlines, which does not list its fares on Google Flights. Several large Asian carriers are also absent from the results, including Air China, China Eastern, Thai Airways, and Philippine Airlines.Is Google good for finding flights?
Bottom line: Google Flights and Skyscanner are two of the best sites for searching for flights. Both have some great functionality, but each also has some areas for improvement. That's why we often recommend pairing multiple search sites to ensure you're getting the best deal.Do flights go up if you keep searching?
However, airlines say prices change not because of a consumer's search history on a website, or their cookies, but because of inventory updates or glitches on the website, FareCompare's Rick Seaney said in an email.How to Find the CHEAPEST Flights on Google Flights [Cool Tricks + Google Flights Tutorial]
