When talking about dynamic pricing, what I really mean is "dynamic price based on the demand/supply for a given route", the different points cost for different routes may still be considered "dynamic" but that's a different type of "dynamic".

Let’s just hope the effect of dynamic pricing on EK is more like economy redemptions YVR-YYZ (Can often be had for 6-8K points), and less like J to SYD (485K with few exceptions during the peak season).
OTOH... sometimes there's possible deals with dynamic pricing.

Ya it does seem to be slim pickings after looking myself for later months. When I looked previously after it became official there was a ton and scored some for May. Much like SQ it's a desired redemption with minimal seats and lots of AVGeeks looking to book so it's not too surprising.

The flights I was looking at 2 days ago (AMM-DXB-SIN) were all gone earlier this afternoon.
And now, they're back.
But they're no longer dynamically priced.
They look as if they're pricing out according to the general chart, rather than the EK chart.
Eg. 60k for J low under 5,000 miles Atlantic to Pacific. 40k for Y.
And now, they're back.
But they're no longer dynamically priced.
