The consolidator fares will be tiered by class level as well. (so, if you are looking at a J class fare, the consolidator fare will be competitive vs published J; you will not find a J class consolidator fare that competes on price with a published I class fare).

In other words, the lowest consolidator fares will book into I and you will earn 20% EQD on the transpacific segment.

The best consolidators typically work through traditional travel agents...for ex-Asia fares, a local (i.e., Nepalese) travel agent is probably your best bet. US based consolidators will not have particularly attractive Asia originating fares, especially compared to some of the bargain premium fares available on a published basis.
