Hi,

Thanks for the quick replies! The KVS Tool looks great, and definitely will try signing up for ANA.

My dates are fairly flexible, was looking some time end of may, middle of june for one week.

Interesting to compare the KVS tools with aeroplans site, this is what I see as available on Nov 1 pulled from the aeroplan site (only all business, and first, but since a/c doesn't do first, doesn't really matter):

Code:

$ ./aeroplan -f yvr -t lhr -l 2010-11-01 -r 2010-11-07  --class B,MF,F --no-classic-plus --passengers 1
Checking: YVR => LHR on 2010-11-01 to 2010-11-07 (class: B,MF,F stops: -1 passengers: 1) .. 7 options found
  found B classic class flight taking 15h 25min with 1 stops
    AC142 (B) YVR => YYZ in 333 leaving 2010-11-01T08:00:00 arriving 2010-11-01T15:23:00

Interesting how the results seem quite different. I think from the KVS output I'm looking for flights with CS+ that indicate a business aeroplan ticket is available?

What I can never find is any first class flights. I used to be able to put sfo<->lhr in a year in advance and find lots of united options, but now, can never see them anymore.

Will give the other tools a try! Thanks!
