Not sure if it's a mistake or able to be booked.
The China Eastern website won't allow online bookings past June due to an issue with Skyteam.

When is this fare booked for? Because from 1/7/13 onwards fares booked in Z class are discount economy tickets.
Explains the ridiculously low prices for the segments in Z compared to the one in I.
