BA told me, and I've confirmed with the KVS tool that on each flight only a couple of CW seats have been booked so there is a good chance some redemption seats will appear and I don't want to miss them.
Does the KVS tool have some sort of alert system to let me know if any seats appear?
You need to use the Awards/Upgrades tab not the availability tab to search for available redemption seats. I find it best to use the Awards/JL-OneWorld in the Method drop down and then set BA British Airways in the Airline drop down.
Then put in your flights and see what comes up. For CW availability you are looking for the CS result where the number after CS tells you how many seats are presently available.
