For many years you could search for either saver or flex tickets, your home country to Dubai return, or a Multi Sector booking.

At the point of search you would also know the Skyward Miles and Tire Miles to be rewarded.

Since the launch of the new search engine on the Emirates Website, this key information is no longer available and the choice is no longer available.

So if you advance search for multi sectors to be on the same booking, you will only be offered the cheapest fare and there is no reference to skyward miles or tire miles to be rewarded.

As a frequent flyer with Emirates, I book all my flights via the Emirates Website, selecting all different options at the time of booking.

I telephoned today Emirates and was told now if you want to make multi sector bookings with the choice of Flex or Flex Plus, it is not possible on the Emirates Website, I must call the local office to make the booking over the telephone.

So the local office is closed when I normally make my bookings, late at night once I arrive at my hotel, this means I need to call Dubai to make my multi sector flex or flex plus booking ?

Why can this not be offered on the Emirates Website for Online bookings ?
