Hi,

What I have bookmarked is the following:

US Air Fare Classes

According to message #2, J is the business class upgrade bucket. Of course, this dates from December 2006, but so far as I know, J is still the correct class. And, while your wonderful tool was showing the J inventory earlier this month, I was not able to see it today.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Regards,

David

I was able to confirm that J class still exists, but if US had decided to hide it, then unfortunately, there is not much I can do ...

It looks like I should pose a question over on the US Airways forum and see if anyone over there knows what is going on with US and J.

Thanks for your fast replies,

David

KVS,

I just noticed that LH has pulled I-class and O-class availability this morning from Sabre/ITN, and all other methods - can you confirm?

Thanks!

Edited to Add: *Of course* this has to happen on the day I ticket!

Expert Flyer also showing same results....

Just tried it, and it seems to work fine... If it happens again, pls e-mail me a screenshot.

When FOREX rates cannot be obtained, the Tool will automatically revert to showing ZUJ fares in SGD/HKD.

LH's O/I/X availability is episodically shown in Sabre (this has been the case for ~2 years now).

However, it is always accessible via the [SNT: Awards/StarAlliance] Method in the KVS Tool (O=FS, I=CS, X=YS).

I had the same experience yesterday but it only lasted for a short time. It was giving prices in SGD. Looks like a temporary problem that was quickly resolved.

Is there someway I can access flight durations in KVS - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance or even under Sabre: Fares/DotRes?

This information is available via [Apollo: ITN] and [Amadeus: Timetable].

PNR -- what is it? Passenger Name Record?

Where do you get the PNR Locator from?

The screenshot doesn't tell a lot.

That just refers to your booking confirmation code

Thanks! Is there anyway to find the miles/distance between two airports, e.g. LAX-NRT?

Search for availability on the route that you want. Once this is displayed click on 'info" which you will find on the right of POS. This will now show you the flight time and distance for that particular flight.
