3. Try ba.com and it shows F seats are available on CX873 on 11/17.
Does anybody know why sometimes the award availability is not consistent even within the KVS tool?
And I believe someone in this thread has mentioned able to get an AA agent to call CX to get these seats when they are not available to OW but are available to CX. Or maybe it's just regular sites, not award seats.
I ignore the OW availability on KVS. If it shows available under CX, you can book it on AA. You may have to try some different agents, get them to call CX, whatever, but the seat is available. CX DOES NOT hold back inventory for it's own elites, though it can make awards available at higher redemption levels, but these don't show on KVS
I find BA web site to be quite consistent with KVS CX
