Got half our flight money - Can we book?

We want to book the flights for our holiday to Thailand asap as they seem to be selling out (and going up in price). I get paid in about five days, but we are really anxious to get the flights booked. Will somebody like Emirates or Etihad accept half the fare online or over the phone and the rest at the end of the week?

I've looked on the Emirates website and can't find any contact details.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've just come home from work to find that our holiday plans might be in danger!

Thanks for any help.
