The scheme has been around for about 1 day in it's current form (no Flex tickets available at the lowest price on many routes). Many other changes have been made over the last 16 months.

As you mention in your previous post "If EK lost too many passengers to other carriers I am sure that they would reconsider whether they want to keep the changes"

If they listened to feedback or engaged with FT, or other social media, they might come to this point sooner rather than later (if at all). To use a farmyard analogy as you did before - should we all go like lambs to the slaughter? It may currently have little or no effect but if nothing else, venting on here lets FTers share their thoughts.

Agreed, but how do you pay the same over the phone if there is a surcharge as mentioned previously (7 or 8% IIRC).
