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.

We have all acknowledged that there is a GLITCH!! and all routes are showing SAVER even if it s flex---

I checked on ITA and the 6045AED fare DXB-ICN-DXB IS a FLEX fare!--
