KVS Tool Cathay Accuracy?
I've used KVS in the past with mostly success in booking Cathay flights, but all of a sudden I'm reaching an wall. I'm looking for a single F ticket from SFO-HKG and I just got through compiling TEN dates that showed availability via KVS, American Airlines showed none of the dates as being available.
Is anyone else having an issue? I use the standard OW search, not the BA search.

I am, same problem. I've been using the OneWorld method, as I understand that there are seats which CX makes available only to its own members. In the past, the OW method has been 100% on. I'm looking for September 25, 1 F seat on 830, HKG-JFK. It's been showing available in KVS with OW method for over a week; but AA says it's not there.

A Beta sign-up link is located on the KVS Tool Homepage (http://www.KVSTool.com/).
As can be seen from its results below, there is actually no F Award Availability on 25 Sep:
[KVS Availability Tool 6.4.9901/Diamond - Axess: Awards/JL-OneWorld]
