KVS shows - for award (-) First class (O) on LX161 Sept 12 NRT-ZRH
BUT
ExpertFlyer shows (O) 4 seats available...
Which to believe to use my USairways miles with.
If you are redeeming US DM miles, then you would need to check the Alliance/Partner Award Availability.
The 'expanded' Award Availability is for M&M members only and is irrelevant for your purposes.
Only the
KVS Tool supports both 'sets' of Award Availability:
