Inconsistent fares ?
Evening all, needing a little help .
Looking at flights for me and the Mrs to Dubai later in the year, fares seem very good for Y but pushing out for J are on par to previous trips.
Here's the question.
Checking the same J class fares on the I-phone on the Emirates mobile app the fare is 300 cheaper. What's the catch? Or should I grab what seems to me a bargain, is this normal or a glitch on the website?
Thanks in advance. Hillwalker.

Another weird thing I've noticed about the mobile site is that you cannot book tickets from the airport which you want with the airport code.You have to select from a drop down list with airports and no space to enter the airport code. This means that you can't select some airports where you can normally book EK flights to on the proper EK website

At work, I get the drop down list but at home I can type the airport code.

It depends if you have the mobile version or the full HTML version. On an iPhone you can scroll to the bottom of the emirates web page and change it to the full version then you can enter codes etc but it takes up more space and power.
