I am bleary eyed now and still confused after a zillion inquiries on KVS and searches thru FT

I am sure I am not doing it correctly or reading it correctly because I consistently see no results.

I have plugged in a trillion combos, tried searching FT, and tried searching this thread. Hopefully someone can help with a few minor questions -- which I should probably know but don't --

Goal: Some routing from CDG-LAX on AF or DL (or KL) w/DL miles in coach.

I 'think' I am supposed to be looking for X for AF and N for DL, but as I never see any -- maybe that's wrong.

Of the several options on KVS, I still can't determine which is best for my inquiry.

I am not clear if I am supposed to get better results if I do inquiries with the whole flight or just various segments.

Lastly, even though my travel is next June, I keep trying test dates in Jan/Feb just to see if I get better results. As I don't see anything for those dates either -- it makes me thinking I'm just going about it incorrectly

I upgraded to the full version, but don't feel it has changed what I am seeing.

Sorry for asking so many naive questions -- I guess if I could just be sure I was searching on the right tool (worlspan, apollo, etc.) and looking at the right fare code -- I'd feel a LOT better.

Thanks in advance
