I put in my city pairs use the Apollo search causee I want to see all classes available and also X and I inventory but I don't even see zeros for my search. I know I can search for awards under STN, but is that just for mileage awards or for upgrdes too (i assume mileage awards because you need to enter in ANA #).
Thanks
UA's award and upgrade classes have 2 sets of internal 'nicknames', which often causes a confusion:
UA's award classes (FS=O AKA R/XF, CS=I AKA O/XC, YS=X AKA N/XY) are shown via the [SNT: Awards/StarAlliance] Method.
UA's upgrade classes (X/NF, I/NC) are not currently supported by the KVS Tool.

Register at UAL.com and choose 'an expert' under
My profile: My travel preferences ->Display preferences -> Availability format
if that setting is in place and you do any flight search you can see the detailed fare bucket availability when you place the mouse pointer over 'Show flight details '
Just a quick question to the experts:
Does KVS look up internet bookings on Malaysia Airlines?
I picked up a $0++ fare and a $29++ fare today and would like to see the PNR in a PNR lookup. MH seems to not have a straight lookup facility on its site.
viewtrip.com seems to not work for my PNRs.
One last thing - will it run OK on a crappy low-end Compaq 2Ghz Celeron w. 1Gb RAM and the horrible hog Vista?

You can enter your eticket number at the "OneWorld E-Ticket" function. Although MH is not part of OW it still works. I even entered my UA ticket, which has just UA flights, and it worked.

Absolutely. In fact it can even run on systems that are as ancient as 15 years old with 8MBs (0.008 GBs) of RAM!

Thanks for the tip!
If you and/or other Platinum-tier members could try to use that function with other non-OW airlines' e-Ticket numbers and report the results here, I will compile an extended list of supported carriers ...
Thanks for the tips. I have only received one e-mail from MH re. one of the paid bookings. It has the e-ticket number so I can use teh LAN or OW checker.
I will have to check w. MH on the lak of an e-mail for the earlier paid booking.
MH e-ticket number didn't work.
FYI MH cancelled my original booking (which had references re payment) so it actually cancelled two bookings! One paid, one not recognised as paid, so requested for a biller reversal.
The third one worked and I'm just rebooking the original flight. Fingers crossed that I can get a confirmation (from SITA) with eticket numbers, then I know it was completed!
Fingers crossed it gets all the way through the MAS payment gateway this time...

I was happy to see that my OZ eticket number (booked via travelocity) did work through the OW option.
