KVS - have to say once again what a great utility you have created ... saves me time (except that I am always checking now ) in worrying about fare classes ... I may be forced to send you more $$$ for the sheer usefulness of the program!

I do have one thing that niggles at me thought ... The Date field has a pull-down, but nothing is ever remembered and no calendar (was that the intent) is ever seen.

Thanks again!

PB - who was able to get "U" class and not "A" as a result of KVS!

Hehe, sounds like there may soon be a need for KVS Tool Users Anonymous hotline , but, seriously, glad you're enjoying the Tool .

As for the Date field, it has been made drop-down for possible future enchantments, but, as you discovered, it doesn't currently do anything .

However, here is a tip : You can use the Up/Down arrows to go 1 day back/forward respectively.

I haven't been able to see AA hidden classes with KVS, but I have been able to see them with ExpertFlyer.com. There is a thread about them on the AA forum and someone mentioned that they are giving out guest accounts to FT'ers that e-mail them asking for one. Hope it helps.

OK, thanks. I imagine that the use of Sabre is the reason for this.

Hey KVS,

a thousand thanks to you! Finally, the new version solves my problems using the AUA/*A host. I am exited about checking it out the first time, when ordering the next award...most likely an upgrade to First on the way to PEK.

Thanks again and keep the good work up!
cheers

This has probably been explained elsewhere....but here goes anyway:

Was does the POS mean in the KVS tool and what should the "default" setting be for YYZ (or does that even matter??)

When do you change the POS to some other location (NY, CA, NE, TN, CO, HI). What does this do to the search results?

Thx in advance. CFB

Simply put, it selects the CWT travel agency that you will be 'working with'. At the moment, it should not have any effect on the availability results.

Okay.....my ignorance is showing....what is CWT stand for (the closest acronym I can see in the glossary is CTOs). Also, was curious about was POS stands for too.

LASTLY, if it has no bearing on results....why is it included in the KVS Tool anyways?

CWT is Carlson Wagonlit Travel: http://www.carlsontravel.com
POS is now explained in the FAQ at the beginning of this thread.

It is there in case one or more of the listed POSs cease to function.

Now would that apply to CanFlyBoy's first or 2nd post

Why worry? It should not affect your usage of this great tool? Does not bother me!

I think KVS is just trying to make this tool as useful and powerful as he can at this time and plan for the future ...

PB - just wondering
