Of course, there was no longer any Z availablility on that flight because I'd already taken the inventory. Argghhh.

Perhaps EK stands for "Everything's Kooky?"
That's the beauty. The inventory I have is just some random routing back to SEA in September so I would have something on the books and avoid EK treating my itinerary as a one-way trip (and closing it out after SEA>DXB>SIN). When I book my return, it will be a fresh booking.
