Flight tickets mishap

Finally book my flight tickets in Emirates. I thought the process is over BUT it isn't. Emirates online software made a huge error. First time, the transaction didn't go though and an error message is displayed. I tried again and booked the ticket, confirmed and talked to a representative(Indian lady, who settled in Hyd, so talked sometime about hyd :) - thanks to her, she gave me window seat closer to the business class. But this seating is for the second booking which apparently should be reverted back and they should credit my account(they didn't until now). Which company wrote the s/w for Emirates? How can they book a ticket with the same name, passport etc in the same flight. I heard from someother friend that they will block the second booking but ...

An interesting thing about Emirates/Dubai is that flight takes a little longer when it takes off from Dubai than when it is landing in Dubai. I can understand if the diff is about 1/2 hour but closer to 2 hrs, come on . May be flight is loaded with people, who are wearing gold .. hahahahahaha :P. Apparently 12% of the total money spent in Dubai airport if for buying Gold.

May be I should buy some biscuits(gold) and reduce the choclates :D. Very good gift for my sis/mom. Now I know why it takes longer :D :D
