I then click "Register" and after half a minute or so I am in the application. But then every request takes many minutes and sometimes produces an error message.

No issues at all with my notebook which is still on 5.1.1
This is an issue with your local system -- pls see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Errors under ""Error Requesting Data: (Various)" after upgrading to the latest version".

Problem solved

Changing the internet / antvirus / firewall settings did not resolve the issue. But after a restart of my computer everything is working fine...

Thanks KVS

Question about availability and standby ticketing

Hello everybody,

My girlfriend is about to fly standby on Lufthansa from Athens, Greece to JAX. I would like to know if any of you is familiar with this type of tickets and what happens if the flight is full. The itinerary we are thinkikng of is ATH-FRA-ORD-JAX on the 19th or 20th of October. The flights that would be the best schedule-wise are:
ATH-FRA LH 3385
FRA-ORD LH430
FRA-JAX LH9224 (Codeshare with UA)

Can you please let me know the loads of these flights as well as any information on standby tickets because it'll be the first time she does it. If the flight is full do they reaccomodate you in another flight via another routing or this is impossible?

Thank you in advance and sorry if this is not the right thread...

If the flight is full, then nothing happens -- you stay behind for hours/days/weeks/etc. until there is space or until you decide to purchase a revenue ticket .

Which airline does your GF work for? She really should be contacting the appropriate department within that airline regarding ticket validity, routings, etc.

Nobody will "reaccomodate" a non-rev PAX, she has to re-accomodate herself.

This matter is already being looked into; in the meantime, please use one of the other Fare Rules options...

Just a quick question

The KVStool is working with a systemcode in combination with a registrationcode.

I took the time last week to format my harddrive and installing everything from scratch after a severe systemcrash. It seems that the systemcode has changed? So as I'm correct one of my registrationcodes has become invallid after a clean installation?

I was wondering if it's not possible to get this systemcode connected to some hardware instead of the software? So when someone has a systemcrash he does not have request a new code

Just a quick thought

That is correct.

Just a quick thought
100-page computer science dissertation papers have been written on this precise topic, so there is really no quick answer to this "quick thought" . Having said, the existing system works quite well, given the diversity of systems that KVS Tool users have, including restricted/locked-down corporate machines, Mac/Linux emulators, etc.

Requesting a replacement code only takes a few clicks and the amount of time and effort required is negligible, compared to re-installing the OS.

Lastly, any major changes to the current system would create a need for all of the existing members to re-register, which would outweigh any benefits gained by the improvement itself...

Just registered for the tool and have been playing around with it. Primarily was looking for an easier way to search skyteam award availability. Anyway, I am unable to pull any AF availability. I have even confirmed that AF has availability via EF and seen the availability via Delta's website. Am I missing something?

I just plugged in IAD-CDG on some random dates to see AF availability and it's coming up fine for me.

The nwa.com engine is having a lot of trouble lately making it hard to search for SkyTeam flights, especially where partners may be involved.
