Exclamation Alert: Missing TCY Fares
Fares for the following carriers continue to be missing from the TCY-based methods:
  • AC
  • UA
  • BA
  • LH
  • VS
  • LX
  • QF
  • (Possibly Others)
The recently-introduced Sabre: Fares/DotRes method of the KVS Tool continues to be a reliable source for all fares that are missing from TCY.

For example, compare:

Seat Maps function
Stupid question.. if I remember correctly, when I had the lite-version, and I right clicked on a flight result, I would get a pop-up with the ability to get the seat map for the flight (I could be mistaken as this was a while ago). Now I'm having trouble getting the seat map.

I'm using 2.10/Gold.
Search using Apollo: ITN/CWT
YYZ-HKG
Returns multiple results
Right click on a specific result | Seat map/Book Segment

The next menu gives me:
Apollo...
Sabre...
Galileo..
Worldspan...
Worldspan...
Worldspan...

I know the first two Worldspan options are only available to Plat. members. However, the other options bring me to booking flights.

How do I get the seat maps? I've done a search on this thread for "seat map" and went through all the results but none seemed to pertain to my situation.

Maybe my GUI is screwed up (more likely me tho)

What am I missing here

Disregard my post. I was able to get it to work via Gallileo by going to book the fare then cancelling, then bringing up the seat map. Guess that'll do, but I could have sworn there was a GUI click way to bring up the maps before

I did this this morning, and it did work and I see the "select seat" selection.

Must have been too tired to see properly, sorry for the bad post.

Thank you KVS for a fine tool and a quick reply.

I just don't know if it can help me personally, I might have overlooked the answer on the FAQ........

I am looking for award travel. Either United Airlines or Star Alliance award seats.

I understand the tool and it seems to be the best one outside of web-based tools, but from my understanding it would not show award seats for united or for star alliance members(looking at air new zealand right now).

Did I miss something? Or does the program just not do that rigtht now? If it did I would not mind paying a price!

Award availability is currently shown for a few *A (and a number of other) airlines -- see KVS Tool FAQ, Part 2 under "Classes Displayed By Airline": http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...80#post2804880

The *A list used to be longer: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...26#post3916826

It can only display published fares (and certain "web/e-" fares). Contract and other confidential and negotiated fares are specific to a particular agency, so they can't be shown...

Exclamation Sabre: Fares/DotRes: MAN Issue
The Sabre: Fares/DotRes method cannot retrieve fares from/to MAN (Manchester) due to a bug in the DotRes engine.

Please use the Sabre/ZUJ method to retrieve such fares.
