May not be as elegant, but it should last longer and it'll certainly not give any more money to this joker.

I don't have the skills to lead, but I can follow if someone wants to give it a shot.
Even if I knew how to get every bit of info from direct web access, I still prefer to use the KVS Tool. It's so much more convenient!!

I don't have the know-how. If I did, I would make a scraper to scrape EF or a bunch of other websites, like automatically requesting upgrades when the window opens, automatically re-seat when a seat opens etc.

Please don't ruin the party by putting KVS out of business. He is serving me (and probably a bunch of others) well.

If you want to use a traditional web browser, use EF!!
