Still learning how to use this KVS tool...hope its ok to keep asking as I learn....todays question...

Is there a way for CO (with or without KVS) to see when a flight is oversold?

No, and no. That information is only available to CO employees.

Still cant do it, but I am guess that is because I bought directly from CO?

Please note that the top post has been updated to reflect the latest changes:

While there is currently no way to see CO F-class availability directly, if one knows (or can establish) the correlation between the the standard business award class (E/CS) availability, the non-restricted business award availability (P/CA) and the upgrade availability, then upgrade availability can be estimated using those factors ...

The top post has been updated with the latest information, including the recent addition of support for CO Upgrade/SWU Availability in the KVS Tool.

Award Availability for Virgin Atlantic [VS], a OP Redemption Partner, is coming soon. The Beta sign-up form is currently available on the KVS Tool Homepage (http://www.KVSTool.com/).

The top post has been updated with the information on the new [Awards-Upgrades/CO] Method, which replaces the previous [Upgrades/CO] Method in KVS Tool Version 6.4.0, which is now available for download at http://www.KVSTool.com/

The supported CO Booking Classes Chart (http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes) has now also been expanded accordingly:

Hmmm...seems dependent on the query. Not all queries cause a problem, however clicking on any of the non-stop flights in the query below seem to give the error:

All of the above flights are actually non-stop. However, for some reason, the [Enhanced Seat Maps] Engine currently sees them as being UA-coded only, which, in turn, causes the error.

Yes, most likely.

I also ran into something on another query with seat maps, maybe related? It was telling me that a certain cabin didn't exist on the flight. It was a CO flight and I was checking for business (which used to work). However it would let me bring up F which would be more typical of UA.
Indeed, CO's 'Classic' Domestic C Cabin is now gone in external systems:

Inconsistency between CO website and KVS. The website is showing R3 RN3 I3 IN3. But KVS is showing:

This is true whether logged in as an elite or as a general member. Further confirmed because my reservation is allowing up to 3 more seats to be upgraded to with miles.

Edit:
More information. It seems that if I do a regular flight search it does come up as 0 for all four fare classes. However, if I click on the fare class from my reservation it lists 3 across the board. Weird.

Interesting, but that is partner availability which should be MUCH easier to mess up than CO's own availability on their metal on their website.
