LA (and its affiliates) are currently experiencing system connectivity issues with some of its partners, which may cause Award Availability not to show via the [Awards/OneWorld] Method, while [Awards/BA-OneWorld] continues to function normally.

4M is only supported via [Awards/OneWorld]:

That is correct -- KVS Tool supports a much wider set of departure/arrival points than the QF.com website does directly.

If you are already logged-in (using the correct PIN), you need to restart the KVS Tool after entering an incorrect one.
