Based on what I have read on here this is not correct information. Perhaps I should wait and call to talk with another rep? What has been your experience when you find award seats via KVS but not on Alaska?
If you can see it via the
KVS Tool, then it can be booked, as long as you are able to find an Agent who is able and willing to do a Long-Sell:

EK Award Availability shown via the
KVS Tool is, in fact,
Partner Award Availability.
