Hi Kuroko,
I was actually thinking about this the other day... Now that EK has moved the Product type within each individual RBD, doesn't this make all RBDs eligible for each product class? I'm not up to speed on the EK RBD nomenclature, but surely if they've moved to fare families, each family is pegged to the selling RBD. This is differs from the previous set up where 4 top four classes were Flex and the rest (6?) where Saver classes.
My point is, now, with this set up, knowing what RBD is irrelevant, you can still avail of a Flex Plus fare even on the cheapest RBD - this wasn't possible in the past (although of course still at a premium over the saver/special)
Or is my thoughts wrong in that they only file Flex and/or Flex Plus in the higher buckets?
Cheers,
Justin/BKK
