IONEx fares, do they exist???
I checked EF for the IONEx fare starting from NRT/TLV/OSL, the current 'low cost' DONEx starting cities. There are no IONEx fares listed. Do they exist and what type of savings are there if they exist? I checked a few of the routes that I would fly and there appears to be I inventory. Sporadic I0 availability, but not too bad. If the savings are 10-15%, I take the reduced inventory for the savings on fare.

Cmb ione3 6038<br />cmb done3 6938<br /><br />I am not sure if a 15% reduction is base fare is worth it.<br />after YQ and tax, the saving is evening less.<br /><br />however, D class earns a lot more miles in many programs.<br /><br />AY D class earns COS 100 on AA and 40% EQD<br />BA D class earns COS150 on AS.<br />if one try to get a few segemetns in AY and BA, it can negate the saving
