So I have just acquired the KVS Tool Diamond membership and I've been playing around with it a little bit in order to get a grip of things...
Welcome to the
KVS Tool!
I have encountered a few problems and a question regarding fares.
- When trying to search for fares with the Sabre tool, it gives me an error message (Galileo / ATP work fine)
What is the error message?
- When trying to check for upgrade availability for UACO it gives me an error message saying UA MP settings are not set correctly ??

Now I have a question regarding fares. I need to fly HKG-EWR(NYC) in late february. Im looking into getting the direct shuttle offered by UACO.
KVS tool gives me a fare at:
[KVS Availability Tool 6.9.2/Diamond - ATP: Fares/FC/US]
Code:
HKG Hong Kong Intl HK [VHHH]
EWR New York Newark Liberty Intl NJ US [KEWR]
R/T
Carrier From To Fare Cur Total Q YQYR Fare Basis
--------- ------ ---- -------- ---- -------- --- ---- -------------
CO HKG EWR 723 USD 866 139 KLE0ZEC4
UA HKG EWR 723 USD 1000 277 KLE0ZEC4
CO HKG EWR 798 USD 941 139 KKE0ZEC4
UA HKG EWR 798 USD 1075 277 KKE0ZEC4
I understand that the total of 866 includes YQ surcharges?!
Now KLE0ZEC4 gives me:
1,078.40 USD on united and continental websites.
The Fuel Surcharge is actually $277 for both
UA &
CO Fares, so the total ticket price is $1 078 USD ($723 Base Fare + $277 YQ + $78 Taxes).
In the fare rules its also specified that this offer is valid until the 31.January - which probably means that I would have to book it by then to ensure that low fare?
Yes, but the ticket price is also subject to Availability.
