The new fares have arrived.

Just having a play now.

Wow, that was absurdly lucky of me, I booked a ticket 3 hours ago on old earning rates

Quick update, checking some usual routes:
W is Flex
R,E,Y Flex Plus as we speculated before via QFF

Fares seem to have not changed, only mileage earning.

I know we may be seeing different things as it rolls out, but I'm not seeing any of the cheapest Special Fares. Saver is the lowest and the 4th column of fares goes to the lowest of the next class up (J Saver or F Saver).

Saver shows the same price as before, but does that mean lower fares will come with the Specials?

I'm not seeing new fares just changes to mileage too.

To be fair to Emirates, this system looks a lot better and so much easier to understand in terms of charges etc.

Only seeing saver and flex plus in business. Flex plus costs �5,285

All 3 choices available in economy

Both saver and flex plus in first class. Flex plus return will cost �6,600

London Heathrow to dubai March

Did they change their system last minute? I'm sure I saw 3 options in economy, 3 in business and 1 in first

Depends on which server you are redirected to, I think. fly10.emirates.com had the old system whilst at the same time fly4 has the new look booking engine. It still has some problems - for instance, in the new booking engine, you can select on the interface different classes on outbound/inbound sectors whereas previously before you couldn't, but then that throws up an error when you proceed to confirm.

There is definitely a price increase.

In economy, in previous system a full flex would cost �764, now a flex plus costs �842

Cheapest flex in the old system was a W class fare, now the cheapest flex plus is R class, hence the price increase. Fares don't seem to have changed on a fare bucket basis.

In terms of getting the full range of fares - it seems to depend on your initial class selection. If you select "Economy" you are shown Economy Saver, Flex, Flex Plus and Business Saver. If you select "Business" you are shown Business Saver, Flex, Flex Plus and First Saver. If you select "First" you are shown First Saver and First Flex Plus. Note if you use Advanced Search you don't get any choice in which fare class you can buy at the moment. You are given the cheapest for your class of service.

Incidentally, First Saver is cheaper than Business Flex Plus on some routes! And the mileage earning on First Saver and First Flex Plus on say, LHR-BKK is 19497 and 19500...I think I know which one I would go for, considering the restrictions are 300 GBP for refund and 200 GBP for changes whereas Flex Plus has no change/refund charges...!

anyone worked out how to do a stopover in DXB when booking a flex fare?
i used to just do it as a multi city booking, but when i do that now it only offers econ / business / first, i.e No option to select flex

Am I the only one who is getting this message on every Y Fare (Flex Plus included).

"*This fare type can only be upgraded with Miles when checking in for your flight."

Maybe its an IT related error?

I get a pretty good flex plus price, much cheaper than before!?

I think there's still a lot to sort out. Hopefully it's still rolling out, but almost 12 hours after I first saw it and there's still lots missing, I have my doubts.

I think the new fares are pretty good, however I can't see any saver or special saver fares. But when I select a business saver inbound and flex outbound I get some fantastic prices and the milages is ok. Maybe it's all good after all?
