Emirates website error with booking

I am currently trying to purchase a flight KUF DXB SYD and when I choose the flight options, I get a website error "technical problems". It has been like this for days now, not sure what to do?

Strange. I've just tried a dummy booking KUF-SYD-KUF (from my EK account) for random dates in Oct -> Nov and there was no problem. Fare was Rub 63,510, but could probably have been lower if I was really trying.

Maybe you are trying to book the sectors individually or are using dates that are out of range (Jul 2012 onwards).

Seems to be working for me on your dates as well (leaving KUF: 28th DEC, Returning 10th Jan '12).

If available try another computer or browser, I find that it helps when I have an issue like this with the EK site.

Cheers,

Maybe try Google Chrome - that fixed issues I had with EK site once and also Turkish Airlines site would not work for me on Explorer but is fine on Chrome.

Well, that seems to be the problem. Why not just go for an itinerary that doesn't have FlyDubai in it, for example one via MOW, KBP or ASB. I don't think the problem is anything to do with your computer, browser, or whatever.

You could then pick up EK or another major airline to SYD. Could save you money too.

Hi

I had some problems with EK site as well. I get a website error "technical problems" as well. Sometimes if I start over is ok, sometimes it's not.
