Same Booking Class - OW Flex, OW Saver?
 

Not too familiar with Skywards at all, so apologies if this is a stupid question.

I had to buy a walk up ticket recently, both ways in B class. Ticket says SKYWARDS FLEX, and outbound posted as such. However the return shows saver on emirates.com. Is this a website glitch or for real? The fare basis is BHxxxxx for outbound, BLxxxxx for inbound.

Thanks for any help.

There are a number of glitches in the system... I would consider yourself fairly safe for the following reasons:

a) The endorsement on the ticket supports your claim
b) The outbound posted as Flex

I have also seen cases mentioned here on FT where tickets showed as Flex during booking and then posted as Saver - I think contacting EK with proof of this such as screenshot was sufficient to rectify. I can imagine that a properly endorsed ticket will only assist your claim.

My experience is that B is one of the lowest fare bases and is a saver booking class. What was the routing? Also was it priced as 2 singles or was it a return fare

Dave Noble - quite right, I have been flying too much *A recently where B is a high class. Apologies.

Earlier post amended - YERW are the top four on EK and tend to be flex fares. Everything else (MB... and many lower buckets which do not always have a fare on offer) tends to be saver.

FCO-DXB-MNL-DXB-FCO, booked as a return.

Here's the FCO-MNL part:

I guess we'll see how it posts, will make a difference for hitting Silver sooner for me.

If the inbound fare basis is BLE1YIT1 , then that does show as being a saver fare

What was the complete fare basis for the outbound? Looking on EF, the only B fare seems to be the BLE1YIT1

Apologies... :o The outbound is R so that explains it. The ATB receipt is rather crappy just around those lines so I mistakenly read it as B with the bottom missing. Very clear on the fare calculation though. (REE1YIT1+BLE1YIT1).

All makes sense now :) ... The R fare is definitely a flex fare so the earning of flex outbound but the inbound being a saver earning seems consistent to the fares
