Are Air Consolidators Dead
I research air consolidators for days about five years ago and wrote a newsletter tip explaining "What is an Air Consolidator?"
I now am starting to believe Air Consolidators are almost dead; however, I am not sure.

When an airline wishes to fill up a plane quick they call upon air consolidators to sell the ticket below publish fares. They do not allow the normal travel agent to do this; it is a special type of agent with special deals with the airline and is allowed to sell below published rates.
However, I think this has changed; I tend to believe they now have special deal with the airfare scraping sites, which digest together many airlines and spit out fares.
Examples:
MAJOR AIRFARE ONLINE BOOKING SITES
Cheap Flights, Airline Tickets, Cheap Airfare & Discount Travel Deals - Kayak.com
Cheap Travel, Flights, Hotels, Vacations, Car Rentals, Cruise, Activities on Orbitz
Expedia.com
Travelocity
What I believe the airlines are doing now, they have these cheap fare and they just unload on one of the site, therefore for a brief time a few people get great fares.
The only way to get them is to lottery surf these pages and hope you are ready to purchase when the ticket is offered.
