This has become a bit of an inconvenience. I don't want the saver fares, and now have to ring up EK and tell them I want to pay for the higher fare bucket to get the flex tier miles and yes please charge me 7% admin fees for not using the website.

EY & QR have the options on their site for different fare buckets and then even list the J fare as an incentive for those willing to cough up a bit more.
