When I add a short connection on the US side, I see one FS seat become available on the trans-atlantic segment (confirmed on OneWorld, JL-OneWorld, and aa.com). How can this be explained?
As mentioned in the
KVS Tool User Guide at
http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Factors:
Note: Segment Marriage Logic is generally intended to apply to Regular Availability only. However, occasionally, it can get [mis-]applied to Award/Upgrade Availability as well, due to a human or system error. If you run across a case of Married Segments when searching for Award/Upgrade Availability, check Availability segment-by-segment to determine the actual Award/Upgrade Availability for each flight.
Also, the
[Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method is the most authoritative source for
AA Award Availability:
