Ok, So you found a ticket for 10k bucks on portal x . But on portal Y , this same ticket could be of lesser price. To understand how this works , its important to know where these portals get ticket information from. These portals have Integrated APIs of different airlines services , which tell them about availability of tickets and price that airline is offering. Now that price is added up with extra amount that differs for each portal , depending on how much profit they are willing to take from a ticket sell. So , there are very positive chances that some portals are offering the same ticket at minimal profit charge.

Find Alternative Airlines At Cheaper Price –

As i explained above , how this pricing is fetched , there are chances you will get same destination tickets at much cheaper cost with a different airline.
