New KVS Availability Tool Is Here! - Page 118

Hello,

I have newly subscribed to the Lite version of the KVS tool. I found some irregularities with Qatar Airways flights displays. E.g., when searching for DOH-MUC on April 2, it does not display the widely open nonstop flight QR9. Any thoughts why?

I am trying to find award space availability on the first flight listed below: I cannot figure out how to interpret the results. Any ideas?

Is that before or after you read the KVS Tool User Guide?: http://kvs.unrealnetwork.com/Tool/FAQ.php

Also, you need to download an updated version.

Let's make that before

... Got it now. Cheers.

The Zuji fare rules don't seem to be working anymore.

pandaperth · Apr 3, 08, 10:03 am

Appears to be OK for me - slower than normal but displaying fare rules OK

Indeed, there are no current issues to report with the Fares/ZUJ Method. babbyf: Could you pls be a bit more specific?

pandaperth · Apr 4, 08, 8:29 am

I ask because, using a local travel agent's web site and searching for 'PER to ORD via NRT on 13-Sep-08' I see two fares, both with AA for AUD1935 and AUD 2133 (the higher fare allows stopovers in TYO and LAX). Yet using KVS' ZUJ Fares, the lowest fare dispayed is for AUD2365 and DotRes' fares are even higher.

The web site is holidayplanet.com.au, if that's relevant at all. I searched this thread but couldn't find anything on this topic

KVS Tool shows all published fares. The fares in question appear to be holidayplanet.com.au's private/confidential/consolidator fares, and are only available via that booking source.

Also, keep in mind that holidayplanet.com.au does not actually support online bookings, so there is no way to tell if the fares shown are even still valid or applicable to your itinerary...

pandaperth · Apr 4, 08, 9:09 pm

Aha - private/confidential/consolidator fares
Thanks for that KVS

I'm getting the error message:

Quote:

Unable To Retrieve Fares:

"ZUJI Australia: Your Online Travel Guru"

""

If the reason(s) for the above error message are unclear, please click the [?] button to review the latest system status announcements.

I am using version 3.1.0.

babbyf · Apr 5, 08, 7:50 am

I've figured out why it wasn't working for me. I had the POS set as "AU", but I'm guessing the redesign of the AU Zuji site has screwed things up. But it works if I change the POS to "SG".

Sorry, false alarm.

Thanks for the report -- the ZUJ AU POS is no longer valid and will be removed as of the next update.
