That message has been changed, as per the earlier post.

Unfortunately, this would not be feasible, due to an equally tremendous increase in the number of queries and the amount of time those queries would take.

For example, NYC (JFK/LGA/EWR) to LON (LHR/LGW/STN/LTN/LCY/QQS/QQW/ZLS/ZEP) would require 27 (3*9) separate queries.

I would like to have access to the KVS tool, with the feature of Star Alliance (through the AC method) award availability on alternate dates. However, I would prefer to have access to this feature, when this feature has passed the beta phase. When might this feature be part of the regular phase KVS tool?
