I was looking for a flight out off MUC when I noticed EK set another trap to ripp off their premium passengers. Between 20.8 and 4.9 all first flex fares are blocked only flex plus is available on the outbound sector. Thats another 800 Eur for nothing and you won't even get better fare rules. Unless you purchase Flex plus both ways you are still stuck with Flex rules.
Why am I not surprised when I checked on a number of flights and they are mostly empty. EK thinks we are stupid!
