Default Any "Real" Business Discount Airfares Available?

Hello all, I inquire as I have contacted a few "consolidators" and
others about an open jaw between Philadelphia-Istanbul & Athens-
Philadelphia or Philadelphia-Athens & Venice-Philadelphia in August
this year and the pricing is within $150 of the airlines if I purchase
direct. Except flights out of NY airports which are higher from the
airline direct and the discount fare is not much more than leaving
from PHL. Although time is shorter through NYC.

Is this due to the time of year or that there is no real discounts in
business class to this part of the world?

I Am planning a cruise in mid-August and that is the reason for this
time. Also, the flights were direct.

Thanks for your input...

If you're prepared for a slightly convoluted route try looking at Kuwait
Airways from JFK to Heathrow, spend a night in the UK and get a local flight
next day.
