Booking error using .se site. Probably a silly question.
Hello again! Long time no flying for me.
About an hour ago I tried to book an exGOT ticket with a brand new US-issued card. Verified by Visa blocked it initially (they had no transaction history so foreign transaction flagged 'unusual pattern'), so .se site asked me to call my bank and try again. Bank cleared international transactions and told me I'd have no problems from here on out, so I reentered the info and pressed confirm and pay. It returned 'booking error, try again later', but the bank was sure it would clear immediately. So far, it hasn't.
Is that likely just because of the initial website error? And I should try the booking again? Or does the website not know when a transaction gets a second processing?
