Thank you! When I do it I get "No Award Availability/Engine Error":
You were using the [Awards/OneWorld] Method instead of [Awards/BA-OneWorld].

I remain confused, sorry. What does "LA may also make additional Awards available to its own members" mean to me? I am a member and I do want KVS to search all LA award seats available to me. I am using LanPass kms, wanting to book award seats on LP.
KVS Tool supports Standard Award Availability on LA/LP -- please see:

Maybe we need a separate thread so we can all learn about using KVS and any LA idiosyncracies.
Indeed -- here is the new thread:

I don't have a KVS membership nor do I know how to use KVS. Can someone post if there is an availability for two business class seats from LIM to LAX around Dec 1.

Thanks for checking the availability.

I signed up for a LAN account and was looking for award availability on this route and it looks like they don't have J tickets even for Aug 2014. Can you freaking believe that.

Are they just not releasing anything? Even to their members. Also, I notice that they have switched the aircraft from 787 to 767 which sucks.

There aren't any. Don't waste your time looking. If you are lucky enough to find the one or two which are available within a year, sit down before you read how many LANPASS kms. they want for the award. The good old days of awards available any day as long as you booked in advance, and only costing 100,000 kms. RT are long gone. LAN doesn't care at all what LANPASS members think of the program, because they are basically the only game in town.

I really hope that this is just some sort of technical issue.

Well, with the caveat “in business”...

There is tons of availability in economy rewards. Indeed, with the current promotion right now almost every day in March April May is 48k kms availability!

It is the redeemers of biz awards they seem to not care about?

(Of course, you can redeem an economy award and take chances on a Comodoro or coupon upgrade).

I've been hoping that for the last 8 months.

Yesterday and today any searches for biz redemption on any route has been failing... what are the odds they are finally doing something?

Edit: Late afternoon, Ok now working, maybe fixed. I am seeing LAX-LIM 100k km rtn Biz rewards showing up, for example 26 and 29 Jan to Feb 1-2-3 and more... Cannot click through to see if it works all the way through 'cause I don't have enough kms. Maybe someone else can check?

or maybe they are preparing for a km promotion in biz?

bingocallerb22 Oct 31, 2013 5:43 pm
OP, I am now seeing lots of LIM-LAX 100k biz availability for first week of December!

aegt123 Oct 31, 2013 10:23 pm
I still don't see any. :( I am using BA's search engine.

Definitely still there on LanPass search engine - Dec 3, 6, 8

aegt123 Oct 31, 2013 11:09 pm
I see two flights for Dec 3 on LAN now, but AA agents can't see. I called twice and also checked BA search engine. WTH!

Not surprised....there has been constant problems booking Lan awards over the last year through other Oneworld programmes. Lan routes are either not being recognised or award seats are not being seen by agents. AEP-USH availability for instance is never available to BAEC members due to Lan not giving BA any seats on the route.
Something needs to be done.
