Booking a ticket
I'm having a new problem never had before. Trying to book a First Class ticket on EK from JNB to LAX leaving in July and returning in Dec. For some reason the EK website, Expedia, Orbitz, etc all keep telling me that there's no EK First Class JNB-LAX on any date I try in July. If I goto the EK website it'll give me a JNB-DXB-SEA-LAX routing, but refuses to give me anything JNB-DXB-LAX. I know they fly the route, multiple flights JNB-DXB a day, plus 2 DXB-LAX flights. However it just keeps telling me no such flights exists. Is this a temp problem with EK? Something that is known or am I just unlucky?

Must be a bug, there are published fares, e..g AEEESZA1 which books into A at a base fare of $5232 round-trip or FRRZFZA1 for $6877 into F (base fare, excl. surcharges and taxes).
sample dates checked are 19 July and 14 December.
