When I used KVS tool to determine Sky Team award availability (especially when I clicked on Delta airlines), for any route (eg YOW-ATL, or YOW-MCO), the message said that the routing was too complex for award availability to be displayed. That does not make sense, as there are 2 Delta nonstop flights a day between Ottawa and Atlanta.

Thanks, just pulled up etickets on AS and US stock using the LA/OW feature, I hadn't realized this was possible

Thought I'd share the report since I didn't see US in your list yet.

What dates are you looking at? I just did a search between YOW-ATL and came up with the following for June 4th 08:

Keep getting a error when pulling Sabre:fares/ZUJ. Both the HK and SG option give me a yahoo error and the AU gives me a "unable to retrieve fares"

AU POS is no longer valid; you need to use SG or HK POS. Otherwise, all systems continue to function normally.

What is the "Yahoo error"?

CPT - LHR is no longer working using the OneWorld Awards access method.

Even with Extended Mode ticked - it continues to give the Data Source Error Message.

I've also tried combinations of CPT - LON - but no luck.

This is a new problem - as it was previously working last week withou issue.

The QF is restricting award availability checking for that city pair -- I will see if I can find a work-around ...

The QF "Extended Mode" issue has been identified and resolved. An updated version will be released shortly:

Error is gone now.

The last time I booked a flight to Europe (in early May) I was able to use KVS to check on the availability of J (upgrade to business class) inventory on US. Today I was checking availability for an upcoming trip and now none of Apollo, Sabre, WSpan or Galileo provided information on J availability. Has US hidden this? And if so, is there some other way to access this information?

Thanks.

Regards,

David
