Apparently, what you are saying is that award seats on certain non-alliance carriers are actually not searchable under the Awards/Upgrades tab. Instead, for many carriers all you can see is the fare code for A or W seats under the Availability search tab.
It really depends on each specific carrier:
- For most carriers, Award Availability needs to be searched via the [Awards/Upgrades] Tab.
- For some carriers (like AS), Award Availability can be searched via either the [Awards/Upgrades] Tab or the main [Availability] Tab.
- For a few remaining carriers, Award Availability needs to be searched via the main [Availability] Tab only.
In all cases, the Table at
http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes will indicate which Method(s) you should use.

The Mobile Companion supports Award Availability on a small select of carriers. Therefore, in most cases, you need to use the main
KVS Tool application for that.
Again, this is noted on a carrier-by-carrier basis at at
