I've recently found out that CX hides its business class fares (see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...fare-sale.html) and have been going to its website to get pricing.

I looked at CX's website for Italy (http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/it_IT.html) for a MIL-SIN roundtrip and it quoted me EUR 3.613,14 (much less than the EUR 9.114 available from my travel agent). However, QR quoted me EUR 1.783 (both through my travel agent and its website) and so I purchased it: CX is not worth a 103% premium over QR).

Imagine my surprise when, for some reason, I had the impulse later on to check an Italian OTA, https://viaggi.americanexpress.it/, and found that the CX flights were available there for EUR 1.841,43 -- EUR 58 more than QR, which I would have paid no problem! I went back to search the Italian CX site and CX is still quoting me EUR 3.613,14.

What on earth is going on? It's highly frustrating -- it's as if CX doesn't want people's money (or at least mine). Since it appears that the CX website cannot be trusted, any advice? I now know in Italy to look at American Express Travel, how about in other countries? Any reliable global search site that will have CX's real business class prices?
