I haven't compared to the Asiamiles website. But checking CX awards on KVS I'm getting F availability on aircraft without an F cabin.

If I weren't so lazy I would check the Asiamiles site to see whether it's reporting F inventory on aircraft with no F, or if it's an error in the way KVS is reading the data.
