American Airlines Availability
Hi all

I am currently checking availability for a DONE4.

I have checked using KVS Lite availability tool and a public class availability tool.

I can not see any availabilities on American Airlines in any class for various destinations worldwide eg NRT-LAX and JFK-LHR and throughout the USA for dates from now to early April 2008.

My agent also cant see availabity TUS-ORD-SEA in early 2008.

Does anyone have a reason for this anomaly please or is this noraml for AA.

Any help appreciated.

I used Expertflyer and NRT-LAX and JFK-LHR looks wide open in D. For AA domestic flight you need to search for A and not D.

Thanks millionmiler

Below is copy from KVS lite search,

I have now tried another public availability tool and can see availabilities for all classes.

Cheers

As the KVS tool is reporting no availability for flights in March 2008 in any class it is clearly giving wrong results.

Clearly false information, as stated already by milliomiler. Your travel agent should be seeing the real info, though. For the American flight 268 SEA-JFK on Sep 20th the real fare class availability is as follows at the moment:

F7 A6 P3 Y7 B7 H7 K7 M7 L7 W7 V7 G7 S7 N7 Q0 O0

So plenty on DONEx space on that particular tube.

As mentioned in the KVS Tool FAQ, AA availability cannot be seen using the LITE Version and the [Apollo: ITN] Method. One needs to use the [Sabre: ITN] option, which will then yield the correct results, e.g.:

[KVS Availability Tool 2.8.2/Platinum - Sabre: ITN/US-AXC1]
Code:
SEA  Seattle/Tacoma Int'l WA US [KSEA]
JFK  New York John F Kennedy Int'l NY US [KJFK]
THU  20 Sep 2007

Carrier   Flight From Depart    To   Arrive    A/C  St   Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- ---- -----------------------------------------
AA        268    SEA  09:15     JFK  17:30     757  0    F7 A6 P3 Y7 B7 H7 K7 M7 L7 W7 V7 G7 S7 N7
