Lost with KVS and award availability
Dear all,
Just started to give KVS a try for the following reason:
I wanted to see if there is an possibiltiy to book a business class award ticket next summer to to the Dutch Antilles.
However the results of KVS confuse me.
If e.g. I try ams-cur on july 6, 2007 I get (with Apollo: ITN as I am using the lite version):
[KVS Availability Tool 2.5.2/Lite - Apollo: ITN/US-TNT]
AMS Amsterdam-Schiphol NL [EHAM]
CUR Curacao Aeropuerto Hato AN
VR 06 jul 2007
KL 735 AMS 12:00 CUR 15:55 M11 0 J9 C4 Z4 S9 B9
From what I learned in this thread D is the code for business class award and W is for economy. Thus according to Apollo there should be no availability for that day.
However, if I go to the FB web site award booking tool it will happily mention availability for that day and allow me to reserve 4 seats.
Same thing if I go for different dates or for different islands (bon - bonaire or aua - aruba).
No D or W codes in KVS still according to the award selector plenty of availability.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks alot! FM
PS: if someone has better options to look into the system:
if you can provide me on any info on business class availability for ams to aua, bon or cur during july (and back about 3 weeks later), I would greatly appreciate this!
