I got a confirmation email, e-Ticket, was able to choose to my seats, everything on EK web site says confirmed, etc. It has been a week now but nothing is showing up on my AMEX charging activity. Should I be concerned or is EK just a bit slow? I realize it takes time for charges to post but the reason I'm concerned is because there's nothing showing up for activity under "Pending Charges". Not even the customary $1 pre-authorization. Has anyone else experienced this or have some insight? Your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
