I find that there are quite a lot of inconsistency between KVS Mobile Companion and ExpertFlyer.com. Anyone knows which system is much truly present the inventory CX does have?

Hi andy1022, this is a POS issue. The results are consistent if you compare the proper POS:

If you compare the "Mobile Companion" results vs KVS's "Sabre GTC" results you'll find the same differences.

Thanks for prompt reply. =)
So, do you know which one is more likely accurate if I issue my ticket in HKG? Thanks.

If you go to the HKG Cathaypacific.com site and try to price out the ticket, it shows an L fare for the flight, which would indicate the UK POS is the more accurate POS.
