Have been trying to book Business Class tickets through emirates.com for two days but cannot get the booking completed.

I can only speculate that the problem is with Mastercard payment. The usual Mastercard SecureCode page asking for the secure no. (or dismissing it) I am used to on other websites doesn't show up during the final booking process.

I disabled my internet security program and firewall and my browser's popup blocker (either Explorer, Firefox or Chrome), credit card limit is sufficient but to no avail. My bank hasn't received any payment requests from EK either so seems to be a website problem...

Call center cannot help, only to offer to book on a higher fare and with no online mileage bonus. This morning I was the secong person to complain about the problem...

Anyone with same experience or a hint to solve the problem ?
