I seem to have a knack coming across every glitch on the EK website... in the past it has been "incomplete bookigns".

Today's episode brings me the "bait and switch"... tried pricing out a flight via the best price option. I select the fare I want in the matrix, review the itinerary and instead of being given the Ticketing Option screen I get a review of the fare again with a "Sorry, the flight has been closed for booking" message.

Right. Flight is next month, not a few hours from now.

But wait, if I go book "By Schedule" I can pick the flights and get it to the payment screen... but the fare is $80.00 more. So it's not really closed for booking.

Go back and try By Price... same price as the first time, but still will not let me purchase it!
