US POS:
[KVS Availability Tool 3.0.3/Platinum - Apollo: ITN/US-ARL]
Code:
LON London Metro UK = LHR LGW STN LTN LCY
SEA Seattle/Tacoma Int'l WA US [KSEA]
SAT 05 Apr 2008
Carrier Flight From Depart To Arrive A/C St Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- ---- -----------------------------------------------------------

UK POS:

To take advantage of the US POS availability, you will need to
call BA US Reservations or use a US-based TA (online or otherwise).
