Do yourself a favor: Go through the airline. If you cannot afford Business, they more than likely have a quality Premium Economy product. I tried one of these guys 5 years ago. He told me that he could not give me a quote unless I purchased right then and there. Raised alarm bells then. Hung up, and booked through CX directly.

Sometimes it could be corporate deals. I'd be careful with mileage ticket and I would always *specifically* ask to make sure it is not a mileage ticket.

For me, it was not worth it, but it was indeed few dollars cheaper than from google/flights. But I did not wanted to risk anything for few dollars discount.
Hope there is some instance where it is a lot cheaper, then this may work some day

What sucks with these companies and fares is if you ask for a quote they come back with the absolute best routing you could want and the best total fly time. The price time routing are so great it is so hard to say no.
