As you may know if BA has availability when you search it will not typically display the 'select partners' display button.

I'm just looking to understand how to interpret what I'm seeing come back in the tool.

Thanks!
The BA engine does, indeed, have certain limitations, as described at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Method_Amad...rds_BAOneWorld

At the end of each search, the list of OneWorld cabins, for which availability has been checked, will be listed in the Status Bar. This way, you can quickly switch to the primary OneWorld Award Availability engine [Awards/OneWorld] (or change your search parameters) if necessary.

The route 'overlap' between BA and the carriers that are only supported via the [Awards/BA-OneWorld], but not the [Awards/OneWorld] Method (i.e. JL/RJ/S7) is very minimal.
