If I put that into BA.com, it will only give me HKG-LHR-JFK for 60,000 BA miles and $500.

I know for a fact that I can fly other routes, like HKG-NRT-JFK on JAL or HKG-AMM-JFK on RJ for 25,000 BA miles and whatever the YQ might be.

What I already know is that KVS Tool will give me award availability for RJ and JL, but my question is will it also tell me how many miles and YQ it'd cost. I'm guessing at this point that BA doesn't make this information available publicly.
To further clarify, there are 3 separate components:
  1. Award Availability, which is relevant to the KVS Tool.

  2. Mileage Cost Information, which is static and readily available on the BAEC website at
  3. Taxes/Surcharges, which can be calculated/estimated via ITA.
