A few years ago I subscribed to KVS briefly, Diamond level. My main objective was to find biz class award flights between RDU and OTP using Skymiles. The DL site only searched DL/KL/AF, and my experience was that it was often necessary to use RO and calling DL was very frustrating.

After a hiatus of booking international award trips, I again had a need. Specifically I was looking to go PHL-BOM around New Year's, PHL-FCO next spring, and possibly IAD-OTP. I plunked down the $45 for a 6-month diamond subscription.

In fact, the actual routing involves 3 of the 4 segments on VS, but when I do the search on KVS I get no VS flights - only DL/KL/AF.
