Am I reading the chart right -- KVS will show availability of eVIP upgrades into three-class F, but NOT two- or three-class J?

Did you, perhaps, mean two-class F?

I think ldpeters was getting at the lack of visibility for the "C" class which is used for business class upgrades.

No, I meant two-class J -- AA offers this service on international routes flown on its 767s and 757s.

That's too bad about "C" availability, as right now it's the only thing keeping me from switching wholesale from EF.

Are you working on it? Any idea if it might be coming? EF does it, for sure.

Thanks!

It's definitely a high-priority item on the wish list, unfortunately AA continues to hide it quite well..

Add me to the list of people who really would want to see 'C' inventory on KVSTool.

Just donated cause it definitely looks better in a lot of ways than ExpertFlyer but I really do plan to use the 'C' availability for a future award flight.

Keep trying!!!

Welcome to KVS Tool!

C is AA's SWU/mileage upgrade booking class. All 3 AA award booking classes (Z/U/T) are already supported: http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes

Thanks for the clarification - but yes, I would like to be able to decide whether to go for a full award or an upgrade based on availability.

Thanks for the welcome.

A little KVS or Expertflyer help please SCL to SAN
I know that I should just break down and purchase it, but times are tight. Anyway I'm wondering if someone could let me know seat economy award seat availibility on 12/31/10 or 1/1/11 from SCL to SAN...actually SCL to MIA or DFW seems to be the problem.

I may just have to fly LAN SCL to LAX and take the bus or train home.

Thanks in advance
