Last week, fare changes were introduced on the SIN website, which resulted in a very cheap fare to MEL for example (ie S$690) being classified as Saver now - whereas previously all the fares to MEL etc were Flex.

I am hearing that we will see a lot of systemwide fare changes be introduced over the next few months, with the most cost effective fares being reclassified as Saver.

If you travel the same routes often, you may want to check.

In my case because I do the SIN-MEL-SIN route so often, I want to be able to buy a Flex fare, because the tier miles are important. The Flex fare is only S$200 more roundtrip, so to me, worthwhile.

I think EK are leaving money on the table when it comes to booking online. They should display both the Saver and Flex fare, and let you choose which one (they can have a simple explanation via a pop up box).

They should also adopt the same feature BA.com uses, where it gives you the option of upgrading one leg, or both legs via ticking a simple box against the corresponding amount.
