Just use the AC tool (ITA) and you will see available seats for that routing.
Welcome to
FT &
KVS Tool,
danananan!
The automatic route construction capabilities of the
[SNT Awards/StarAlliance] Method in the KVS Tool are limited to 1 connection (2 flight segments).
The
[ITA: Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method can automatically build up to 3 connections (4 flight segments).
Please see
http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Methods for details.
What day of the week did you try to check? The
YYZ-SCL flight does not operate on Mondays and all other *A options would require > 1 connection:
