Anybody know a good business class fare consolidator? I have to take a trip to Sydney in a few weeks and Cathay is the only airline that has a night flight out on the day I need to leave...I called gatewaylax and they told me they don't do discount business.
You might need to give some details like where you are departing from etc.
VS and QF also have night flights ex-HKG to SYD which leave at about the same time as the CX flights.

It sounds like the OP is leaving from JFK. CX sells cheap J out of YYZ (maybe half the JFK price). Lowest price is with a chinese travel agent (no problem finding one in NYC chinatown). Or you can do a "do it yoursef" consolidator by buying a Circle Pacific fare (typically half the QF JFK-SYD-JFK fare).

You know, I would love it if someone could PM me a good business class consolidator who can do the JFK-HKG route. I'd be curious to see if there fares are still affordable for a small business. I'm definitely not working for a big corporation.

Yes, leaving out of JFK who sells discounted biz class. Getting 15k RTPP right now. Found a slightly better $11k on a combination UA(JFK-SFO-SYD), HA(SYD-HNL), UA(HNL-JFK), goinig through HNL because the return UA flight out of syd leaves at 4:15 pm and i can't make it until about 5pm.

Just checked on Emirates, and u can fly to Sydney from JFK with one stop in Dubai both on the inbound and outbound trips (Flights EK204/EK412 and EK203/EK419)
Cost is $9400 all in, and the flight leaves SYD at 19:50, so u shud be good.
I guess actual flight time might be longer for u, but it wud be equivalent to all the stops ull be making on ur 11k itinerary.
I tryed dates Jan 20th-27th. Login to EK website and use ur dates. EK is partners with UA, so u can make use of the miles as well.
