On the main KVS tool thread, I was told that consolidated fares are confidential to the travel agency, and not available through the KVS tool.

A related Canada-specific question - can any travel agent find cheaper (perhaps consolidated) business class fares (on flights originating in Canada) on AC or other Star Alliance carriers than the cheapest fares found on the KVS tool, and whether these travel agency-specific fares earn full Aeroplan status miles. I ask because I am thinking of flying business class to India (with my family) in Mar, 2008.

Or to put it another way, should I be satisfied that the KVS tool offers the cheapest business class fares, and if so, is there any need to go to a travel agent?
