What is a ‘Skywards Saver’ fare?
A 'Skywards Saver' fare is any Emirates fare with either:
(a) eligibility restrictions (such as students; seniors; companions; etc)
(b) a limited sales period (''must purchase by'' date)
All fares sold by other airlines, partly flown on Emirates, also fall into this category.
A Skywards Flex fare is any Emirates fare with none of the above restrictions, i.e. no eligibility or purchase restrictions.
You can earn 100% of base Miles when you purchase 'Skywards Flex' fares. You can earn 50% of base Miles when you purchase 'Skywards Saver' fares.depending on what fare best meets your travel needs. A 'Skywards Flex' fare will always allow you earn more Skywards Miles and tier miles.
The Skywards fare type will be reflected in Emirates fare rules, along with all other fare conditions. This will be clearly displayed and visible to you while booking via emirates.com in the Miles breakdown information. Alternatively, your travel agent will be able to inform you about the fare conditions at the time of booking.
When booking on emirates.com, do I have an option to search for a 'Skywards Saver' or 'Skywards Flex' fare?
This functionality will be developed in the near future. Currently you can search by the lowest available fare, or by schedule.
