KVS doesn't display every possible cnx. You have to do some work.

1) Download the Star Alliance timetable - then search for every city that has n/s flights to where you are going. (ORD, DEN, SAN, SFO, LAX, PHX, YVR all have n/s flights to HNL)

2) Work backwards: once you find availability to where you are going, then find availability to that city.

For example:

[KVS Availability Tool 3.0.3/Platinum - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA]

HNL Honolulu Int'l HI US [PHNL]
SAT 02 Aug 2008 / 1 Seat

Carrier Flight From Depart To Arrive A/C Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- ---- -------------
UA 83 LAX 13:00 HNL 15:50 763 FS- CS- YS+
UA 43 DEN 11:45 HNL 15:12 777 FS- CS- YS+

Now, you just have to get to LAX or DEN... I'll leave that with you.
