Which is the correct availability?
There is currently no F Award Availability on that date:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.0.3/Diamond - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA-SP1]
Code:
FRA  Frankfurt Metro / Intl DE = FRA HHN [EDDF]
WAS  Washington Metro DC US = IAD DCA
MON  10 Sep 2012 | 1 Seat

Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive    A/C  St  Availability
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  -------------
LH         416     FRA   09:40     IAD   12:35     333  0   FS-  CS-  YS-
UA         953     FRA   11:00     IAD   14:07     763  0   FS-  CS-  YS+
UA         917     FRA   12:20     IAD   15:15     777  0   FS-  CS-  YS+
LH         418     FRA   13:00     IAD   15:45     74H  0   FS-  CS-  YS+
UA         933     FRA   17:00     IAD   19:55     777  0   FS-  CS-  YS-
However, keep in mind that M&M website cannot handle mixed-cabin awards and will only show F Award Availability if it exists on both the outbound and return dates you enter. If F Award Availability is only available on the departure date, then it will not show it at all.

The results you are seeing via the KVS Tool are not subject to that limitation.

For tips on dealing with Agents, who may claim there is no Award Availability when the KVS Tool shows otherwise, please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#AgentSaysNo
