What about other sectors many of you fly ??

Edit -- I did some checking.. lowest fare on the above sector is approx Eur 815 which is saver.. Toggling with some flight options, the lowest for one leg in flex and one in saver I could get was about Eur 950-1000.. but even the fare priced at Eur 1300 shows one leg as flex and one as saver.. hmmm.. so now the full flex ticket would be really expensive ..
The EUR 974 + tax fare is flex, EUR 860 and EUR 780 are Saver. This is probably happening because one of the two legs eg CCU-DXB is in the Saver fare bucket but is being priced at the higher one, eg DXB-DME which is in the Flex fare bucket. Interestingly even the cheapest (B) fare has no fare restrictions whatsoever, and is in essence a Flex fare.
