I only want to check AA flights only.

Use AA.com. Since KVS screen scrapes from the QF and BA award search tools, you will get oneworld partner results mixed in if it is a route that is flown by partners other than AA. This is also only for awards, KVS doesn't support C,X,R upgrade inventory classes.
getting the same cookies error in EY searches.
anybody got a fix? IE cookies settings does not seem to help
thanks
Try using the same page that KVS scrapes the data from:
https://www.etihadairways.com/sites/...obe/trial.aspx
Do the search there, then look in the HTML source on the results page and you'll see all the class codes.

Is this correct? I thought platinum had access to this tool as well. Or am I doing something wrong.

The answer is concealed in the KVS site. Go here:
http://www.kvstool.com/MembershipLev...OME-L#Features then where it says "Features: Summary View" choose Detailed view from the drop down. You'll then see that oneworld:BA & JL are Diamond only. Too bad that's not clearer.
It also looks like that two of the features that have been turned off by the source websites: Availability:GTC and ITA Fare Search, both required a high level of contribution. Also the Fares:TVN method that was just turned off by Travelocity was the only fare search method that a Gold member could use. With those loss of features, it looks like a realignment of what's included at what level should be forthcoming.
