Only way to identify the fare type is with the fare base (4th letter from the right determines the fare type; F = Flex Plus / S = Flex / P = Saver / R = Special)

Also, Y, R, E fares are 99/100 Flex Plus (but as you say, the definitive check is the fare base). Similarly I have a B class which is entering the Flex bucket on an itinerary I have in the next couple of weeks.

EK have decoupled the link between the initial fare bucket from the fare type (as associated general conditions) which gives them additional flexibility in inventory and offers.
