[KVS Availability Tool 2.7.3/Platinum - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/US/USD]
Code:
PDX Portland Int'l OR US [KPDX]
PHL Philadelphia Metro / Philadelphia Int'l PA US = PHL TTN [KPHL]
TUE 17 Jul 2007 / WED 18 Jul 2007 / RT
Carrier From To Fare Cur Fare Basis
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- ---- ----------
UA PDX PHL 158 USD LRA14ON5
I then selected the first entry to view the fare rules. It basically said the fare was blacked-out on weekends, was only available on Tue/Wed, required a 14-day advance, no min stay and 30-day max stay.
I then proceeded to plug in every Tue-Wed combination in July to try to get the $158 rate. I could not come anywhere close. Does this just mean that the fare class is sold out for all of July?
Is there any way of using the KVS tool to cross-reference the available fare classes before I go off on a wild gooose chase?
Did you check availability in L class (Step 4)?:
