A completely different experience for me just last week from the UK. Blocked twice by my bank in the space of a few minutes. I wasn't surprised as the card was red hot from use in the previous few hours with various overseas transactions.
After calling the bank and going through the security procedure, the EK website and the bank processed the charge at the next attempt. The operator at the bank even stayed on the phone line as I did it and saw the transaction complete just a second or two before the EK site gave out my confirmation.
