Around 11:15pm my time, I noticed that the windows were closing. Tickets were no longer bookable on Expedia, even on flights with no EK/EY component, so I fled to PL, where I successfully booked a one-way trip next month (!!) on a DXB-LHR-ORD-AUS route, with the first two legs on BA and in F. (I *do* hope I get their upgraded F on both legs; I'll have to check the BA boards to see if they've upgraded the metal used on those particular flights.) Total cost was $1,440, and I have separate confirmation numbers for BA and AA.

My first successful price-mistake ticket! Yay me! Now there's just the *wee* problem of figuring out how to get to Dubai...
