1. Some legal connections don't seem to show up. I've come across this a few times E.g. LAD-DXB-LIS on EK, DLA-ADD-FRA on ET, MAO-PTY-POS on CM etc.
Could it be that these are all connections that significantly exceed the direct routing mileage and are therefore edited out of the results? Even if the airlines themselves publish and sell fares on these markets?
Indeed, these routings are not logical:
Specifically, LAD-DXB-LIS is almost 175% of the MPM.

Therefore, they would not be shown by the [Timetable] Engine automatically.

As always, you can force any routing of your choice by searching segment-by-segment.
Alternatively, the [Availability] Engine can be forced to construct such routings by specifying an airline preference:

KVS Tool already supports the DSS airport (as of its opening date in Dec 2017), however it may take some time for the various external Engines to be updated. Please use the [Availability] function until the [Timetable] Engine gets updated.

As always, please contact us via the official support channels (website or e-mail) if you have questions or require assistance regarding the KVS Tool.
