My UA password is six digits... and I don't have an ANA log-in.

AFAIK it only works with an ANA username / password not an UA one even if checking UA availability.

Sabre ITN access apears not to be working. Get "Datasource ERROR" & "Processing Error". All other access tools including sabre fares are OK. Sabre ITN is the only accurate access for AA availability.

Just downloaded ver2.9.0 - no longer have an option to search Worldspan. Did I miss something? Was this planned?

I, too, am getting the same error using Sabre.

As mentioned in the KVS Tool FAQ, The [Apollo: ITN] Method cannot show availability for AA flights: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...81#post2804874

The TravelGalileo servers are not currently responding ... It's probably a temporary situation, as it happened in the past ...

The old ITN-Sabre POS was decommissioned earlier on today. I am currently working on finding a replacement and expect to be releasing an updated version (V2.9.1) shortly.

As for ITN-WSpan, it was, in fact, temporarily removed from the new version, as the Methods list was getting 'too crowded'. However, it will be back in V2.9.1 as the Methods list has been re-designed.

Thanks for the update. I was going to add that Worldspan: ITN is still available using the online companion, but I see ver 2.9.1 is available for download. WTG! You rock!

Just finished the download. I love the new Methods drop-down list.
Nicely organized. As promised Sabre is working again as well. Yay!

Since upgrading to 2.9.1, I am unable to see QF Z and U availability for LAX to SYD flights. I'm choosing Sabre ITN. Is anyone else having a similar problem?'

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the old Sabre-ITN POS was decommissioned a couple of days ago, and the new POS shows a different subset of classes. I am currently looking for a replacement source for that data ...
