Okay - thank you.
|
Trying to make a booking but seems to be a mess.
NCL to PHUKET This is the screen that initially shows up: http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcgayo.png When I press continue, the fare jumps up to £800! http://i57.tinypic.com/2jb64ae.png |
I thought in Economy, there were Special, saver, flex and flex plus. What happened to the special fares?
In addition a lot of the saver fares are sold out for flights later in the year? Crazy |

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? Me too - plus where are the special fares? :confused: |

have the same message.
however that's what I know (same for Eco/Business/First) Special: no upgrade possible Saver: only at check-in or on-board (silver,gold,plat,io) Flex and Flex Plus: anytime regarding the special fares. AFAIK this are the special-special fares (X and V class) and I havent seen them for a long time (maybe once a year for a special in Economy) |
Ok so the kinks need to be ironed out but I think this is so much more transparent than it used to be. A big improvement in my opinion and much more customer friendly.
Well done ek |
best thing i have noticed is i can book a j saver and a y flex (so i can upgrade) online.
Love the fact that i can actually see the prices of all at once, and also biz saver at the same time as the eco - will save me countless backwards and forward searching! Sure I will will find something i dont like, but at the moment well done ek web team! |
Booking system is working great for me so far.
Fares just went up, a few days ago the online fare for ISB-DOH in J was approx. 4200 USD, now it's up to almost 4400 USD. 4200 USD fare was available 2 days ago. Now it's almost 4400. What gives? Dates I've selected are in mid-June. |

The interface looks cleaner too... some consolation for the program devaluation at least.

Sorry, the jury's still out for me.
Too clunky and several bits seem to be missing at the moment. Glad I took a screenshot several days ago. |
Credit to Emirates though - they're honest at least by having the load screens represent what happens when your above Dubai, waiting for a slot to land:

Yes, I spoke to a guy this morning to change a flight, and he said he'd had his training last Friday and was among the last group to be trained. He had expected the same start date as us, but only because he's also a Skywards member and had read the website. He hadn't been told a start date as an employee, and still doesn't know a definite date - just this month sometime.
He did indicate that there were now better miles earning opportunities, but didn't seem impressed when I pointed out it was probably only going to be true if you paid significantly more. One thing he mentioned that I hadn't picked up on was the new lower levels of miles equate to 25%, 35% and 70% of those earned before. I don't know if that's across the board, or an average or what. If I could get ID fares I would not bother with this FFP! |
