It looks to me like KVS is accurate. First, both available T fares for Monday and Tuesday are showing a 7-day advance purchase restriction:
[KVS Availability Tool 7.4.3/Diamond - Fare Rules: LON-TLV/BA/TLAPUK9/589 USD]
Code:
[Advance Reservations/Ticketing]
CONFIRMED RESERVATIONS FOR ALL SECTORS ARE REQUIRED AT
LEAST 7 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE.
TICKETING MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER
RESERVATIONS ARE MADE OR AT LEAST 7 DAYS BEFORE
DEPARTURE WHICHEVER IS EARLIER.
[KVS Availability Tool 7.4.3/Diamond - Fare Rules: LON-TLV/BA/TAPGB/900 USD]
Code:
[Advance Reservations/Ticketing]
CONFIRMED RESERVATIONS FOR ALL SECTORS ARE REQUIRED AT
LEAST 7 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE.
TICKETING MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER
RESERVATIONS ARE MADE OR AT LEAST 7 DAYS BEFORE
DEPARTURE WHICHEVER IS EARLIER.
Second, if you use the ITA Matrix calendar view, no T tickets are available sale until 18 September (uses "ba /f bc=t" in the advanced routing codes box to limit the search). Hipmunk will offer you the same "Premium Coach" tickets for the right US$ price via Priceline starting on 18 September as well.
