Finding consolidators for CX

I thought I'd pull this post out from a YYZ thread as this question keeps coming up. Most consolidators won't sell retail so you still need to use a TA (or be one). Some TAs, usually chinese, offer even lower fares, so look around.

Chinatown, Markham, Broadview Chinatown, Scarbourough Chinatown etc.

Note that all Chinese/Asian TAs belong to a consortium in Toronto that fixes nett airline fares so going from one agency to the next will not see any fare differences.

Its a private fare with CX.... that agent is probably not large enough to have access to it personally. They would have to find a consolidator.

Fare is valid for departures until 24May09

AC has a Z fare for $4337AI from YYZ according to ITA. I guess CX I fare is similar.
But why on earth we can't get the I fare online from CX
