Yes, I probably shouldn't have quoted his post directly when replying - still, I don't think it changes the image they have of deploying things relatively haphazardly...

I think the senior management needs to have a good talk with their IT guys.

Just heard from my department's TA that she had no choice but to rebook 6 guys from NRT to GIG with AF (original with LH), cause the EK site kept bouncing her out. That's 6 J customers gone...

I seriously don't think they care.

TA as in "travel assistant", which is our company's employee.

I'm having a problem with the Manage my bookings section. It won't let me change the car pick up time, either on the Emirates app or the main web page. I've done it previously so I know it can be done, but just no facility to do it.

How long until your flight leaves?

Cancel it and book a new one.
I always do it this way.
Otherwise, call.

Wonderful. Now site is showing no miles earn even on all flights, nor does it allow you to proceed after choosing the flight.

I think some serious action needs to be taken soon.

My two-penny advice : do it while you remember. It might save you a fright the day before.

Thanks Ioto- done it now. You're correct, I might have forgotten. I do like a tidy life.

Annoying bugs on EK's website

Why does it always say you can upgrade 2 seats if there is one seat available and then asks you to call the call centre?! It should just say no availability surely?

Also took me 90 minutes on the phone to book an Arabian airpass - such a pain. Also after my last trip to Amman and recent treatment by EK I've booked j not f.

I've been getting a similar "Availability - Yes" but no upgrade possible. But pretty sure there's no availability anyway based on loads.
