I know that KVS scrapes the ANA web site ... but it does it extremely well. Searches are fast, robust, and easy to use. No back button, no re-filling out forms, no interpreting ANA's different shades of yellow - no web browser period.

I could perform search and search after search on ANA or DL.com using KVS in a fraction of the time it would take using the web sites. Above and beyond that, KVS makes it extremely easy to get information into Word, Flyertalk, or notepad ... ever try copying an itinerary onto the clipboard from ANA or DL?

Just because something scrapes and compiles other web sites doesn't make it not-valuable. Ever heard of Google News?
