Emirates - Eligible Booking Classes

Hi,
I am looking to book return AKL to GLA next year. Will do this with EK as nice Emirates will allow me to miss going through LHR which airport is usually my only complaint about the long trip.
I normally fly Qantas and will continue with their FF scheme due to credit card spend rather than swap to EK Skywards.
My question is about booking classes BGHKLMQTUVX Discount Economy and
ERYW Economy. The former classes earn Qantas FF points at a base rate of 0.5and the latter earn at 1.0.
Where do I look on the booking engine to check which class applies to a flight I wish to select?
Thanks.
Edit - sorry - meant to post this in the Newbie Lounge.

If you book a "flex" fare then it will earn the higher rate

The 2 easy ways to do this are

(1) sign up for an EK Skywards account and then can search online specifically for flex fares
(2) book by phone

Thanks Dave. All clear now. I can see the difference between flex and saver fares and impact on points earned. Cheers.
