My question is if discount business fares are still potentially cheaper than what you can obtain through the corporate contracts?
YES and NO We get a substantial discount on full fare First and Business fares and a much lower discount on cheaper first and business fares. Whats changed this year (First time EK did this in a contract with us since 1999 is we get the same discount for flights ex DXB but a slightly lower discount for flights ex Other stations. Our sales rep explained that with EK, there are to many work arounds to get lower F fares (example is CMB-DXB-USA at around $6000 r/t in First (with stop over in DXB) Thats a hell of a savings, especially if you do business in CMB as well as the US
