Good morning,

Mrs Ivanhoe and I are FITs for leisure and fly two or three times a year in J and its associated classes spending fifty or so nights 'over there' per annum and each of us currently require 8,124 additional tier miles by 31 May 2012 to achieve 'that shiny new silver card'.

I plan two to three trips ahead and then do the daily 'EK dance' avidly searching the flights on the website to see if there is a good price on offer for the dates as every dollar saved matters to us.

We also 'opt-in' each month for the Miles Accelerator, but wonder why we bother as, when searching for flights, the Miles Bonus always shows as it did today without having already 'opted-in' for April

Because of this splendid forum, I've also become a Premium Member of EF to try and understand classes and pricing but, unfortunately, FAIL

This morning I visited my favourite URL and found that EK is offering a good price for our usual MEL-KUL-MEL run... but can't find that booking class on EF... would it be 'I' with EF not yet having updated the fares?

I do not consider myself to be a fool, howsoever it may appear, but... as this is the first of April and with EK suggesting that after the second I should 'Hello Tomorrow', do you think that fares may drop even more by some 'tomorrow' prior to the thirty-first of May?

Is the new slogan connected to an up-coming sale?

As an innocent newbie, I find myself kneeling in awe at the feet of the great FTers and supplicating in hope of kind advice.

Cheers ツ

I just checked and it's really not imperative as the expiring miles on the 31st of May only amount to 4,137 and our next return trip in August will up us to silver.
