Yeah you are right, you would have to pay a fee for direct flights as well. I don't think I would book direct with the airlines, would either be return with sta travel or one-way's with skyscanner
Main reason I am in two-minds over return ort2 one-ways for roughly 550-600 each (having that flexibility to do two years) or book the Emirates flights for 910ish + 60 multiflex and then whatever they chuck on for the dates
When I have looked at reviews for multiflex seems a bit of a faff to get in contact with them
I have been phoning up loads of people at work e.g. trail finders, flight centre, another branch of sta travel - to find out their offers and any cheeky ways to get a bargain but nada!
When you planning on booking?
