Are Saver tickets limited on flights depending on availability by flight/route (ie 5% of seats) and when they are gone you have to buy Flex.
If this is so then booking leisure when flights are just in range, if priced competitively, must be the way to go.?

EK only makes limited Savers available but at various times, so some might pop up a month out occasionally, I tend to avoid them and book Flex as the miles v fare difference usually is is minimal, i.e. double miles for an extra 20$, and I often change flights to appreciate the flexibility.
