Some of the advantages of the KVS Tool include:

  • Incomparably wider Award Availability coverage in all 3 global alliances (see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes):

    • Available exclusively via KVS Tool (Awards):

      *O: BA/CX/JL/IB/LA/RJ/MA/S7/MX/4M/KA
      *S: DL/KL/AM/KQ/VN

  • Multiple user-selectable GDS & Point-of-Sale (POS) options for more relevant/accurate Availability and Fare data.

  • 'Always-on' approach: No need to log-in (except for once every 6/12 months when renewing membership); users are never 'logged-out'.

  • Keyboard shortcuts, which enable mouse-free interaction and can really speed things up.

  • PNR Manager

  • Reference Information Lookup:
    • Maximum Permitted Mileage [MPM]
    • Minimum Connection Time [MCT]

  • Flight Operational Info (With Airline Comments)

  • Visa/Immigration/Customs Information (TIMATIC)
