Has anyone else noticed this? Why is Emirates increasing the FLEX Plus fares to its most loyal customers? I buy the flex plus fares to increase my tier miles to maintain my gold status, and to use less mileage when upgrading.

Any comments on this

Have you been pricing up as a return or one way trips? A return ticket is not usually double the price of two one ways....
Two one way tickets will generally be more expensive than a return ticket.

Example:

One Way Ticketing - GLA-BKK 13/02/19. EK26-EK372 - One Way fare Y Flex Plus £753.80. BKK-GLA 27/02/19. EK377-EK27 - One Way fare Y Flex Plus £871.53 (approx) Total £1625.33
Return Ticketing - GLA-BKK 13/02/19. EK26-EK372 - Outbound fare Y Flex Plus £637.80. BKK-GLA 27/02/19. EK377-EK27 - Inbound fare Y Flex Plus £562.90 Total £1200.70
