The KVS Tool is now even more useful for finding SkyTeam award availability, given today's launch of the brand new SkyTeam Awards Method in V6.0.0, which has been in Beta over the last few months.
The Tool now has award availability coverage across most SkyTeam member carriers, including
AF/KL/DL/AZ/SU/OK/RO/KQ/UX/CZ/VN.
But even before this, KVS Tool members have been long enjoying its 'classic' SkyTeam & DL 3-tier award search functionality:

I didn't even have to search by segment on either KVS or dl.com, I just put in the cities and let 'er rip.

And don't get me started about calling DL for help, with the draconian limitations on the number of dates that its agents will sweep before another phone call is required coupled with a widespread belief of said agents (at least those who serviced me, anyway)that CDG-SEZ and vice-versa isn't even bookable because the metal is HM's.
For those who want to go to the Seychelles on DL and don't want to spend all their time tearing out their hair, I cannot recommend a subscription to KVS strongly enough.
