So having a quick look for one of the sectors I fly in Y class, this is what the numbers are looking like:
KHI - DXB - LHR
Current
Saver = 1875 (one way)
Flex = 3750 (one way)
NEW
Special = 938 (one way)
Saver = 1312 (one way)
Flex = 2625 (one way)
Flex Plus = 3750 (one way)
I used to book most of my Y travel using the FLEX fares originating from KHI, mainly because of double TIER miles and also the flexibility to change. I will probably need to revisit.
By the looks of it, EK is making it harder to attain status flying economy.
