Auckland - Shanghai return on China Southern from $462 (Error Fare)

Was looking to see if any of the fares to China had reduced, and stumbled upon this!

For comparison, the cheapest dates from March to December I can find are pretty much in the $700s return. However, here for just a few select dates in October-November, the price craters. So I’m considering that an error. Get in quick!
