I was trying to book SEA-PEK on Hainan in August, it was returning

A few months ago, I tried booking Emirates for two LAX-DXB and it returned an error as well.

Sorry, bit of a rant maybe then more of a question, but frustrated with availability showing online, and I start trying to coordinate vacation time with the wife, only to find its not bookable online, and the partner desk wasn't able to search very efficiently or even book what they thought they saw as available.

I called the partner desk again this morning 7:15 am, but it just gave me a blank empty phone line so I presume they are not open until later today, so will try again. Just looking for advice as its frustrating seeing availability but not able to complete the transaction.
