Sure enough, checking on the CX Web site (which is presumably where KVS gets its data from), I find there are no award seats available for either of those flights, even at the highest Priority Award level (

Perhaps KVS is somehow wrongly interpreting the data it gets from the CX Web site? Shame because I've always found KVS reliable for checking CX availability in the past.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
Following the transition to a 2-tier Priority Awards system, the
[Awards/CX-OneWorld] Engine no longer supports direct requests for Priority Award Availability and was reporting false
YA+ positives.
Therefore, we have now removed the
"Priority Y" option to avoid the display of erroneous results in the
KVS Tool.
