i just priced out a RT from dxb to icn on ek.com (economy) and while the fare came out to 6045AED, which is exactly the same as it was in 2009, the fares are showing as Saver and thus the tier miles are listed at 1750 each way.

so let me get this straight... i'm paying the same fare as before but i will now accumulate 3500 tier miles COMPARED TO 8394 tier miles for this RT. 58.3% devaluation.

the Flex fare would have earned me 7000 tier miles for the RT which is only 16.6% devaluation...something i could live with. so where is the option for a Flex fare? is it even available? is EK trying to introduce a whopping jump in fare for this mystery Flex fare?

this is MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR BS.
