That case was to the extreme. I forgot the fare class, probably L or V. It didn't matter as there was no published fare below M.

It usually works better for Y. If L is 0 but M is available, CX may still release L to a high-value TA/consolidator (I would guess those committed to >1000 transpacific sectors per month) on request. I have been able to book lower fare tickets for my daughters during peak seasons that way. I don't think that TAs can do much on PEY, J and F.
