Finding Upgrade availibility - KVS Changes

I started a new thread because http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446381 has a lot of old information.


As I see it, there is now NO tool anywhere that gives you the number of award seats available on a CO flight other than a phone call to CO. The new KVS ITA:Awards/Skyteam only shows if there is at least 1 seat.

Under the OLD KVS you could look and choose the flight with F9 and have a much better chance of an EUA than on a F1.

KVS's Apollo: ITN shows R availability, but that's now a revenue bucket

I guess all you can do is look at the First Class seat map on co.com and assume that a lot of empty seats is better than a few empty seats, and a lot of blue seats in coach means less elites to compete with.

Any other suggestions?
