All KE (and any partner) inventory is always LOW.

Seems like that could take hours and annoy the agent.
Nope; goes pretty quickly when they're looking at all zeros.

Or do they have special programs that will instantly provide dates with LOW inventory if you are flexible?
I don't know about TPAC, but they used to have a tool that would search all TATL flights on a given date, but I haven't found an agent willing or able to use it in quite a while.
