As for KIV, well I know that it is operated by Moldovan on the Saab. Boo hoo, missed the Tu 134 on this route.
Can anyone answer the question about destinations served by oneworld and if these exclude codeshares on non 1W airlines. Is the number claimed including non 1W members. They seem to imply that you can redeem miles to any destination "served".
The QF engine can actually show a lot more airports when accessed by KVS rather than the QF website.
Also, in general you can't redeem miles on none OW airlines unless your Frequent Flyer Program has some special arrangements. So all those codeshares need to be operated on OW metal.
It's easy:

But the OP doesn't want to go to Kiev, he wants to go to Chisinau. And for that you need to check S7 award availability.
