EF vs KVS
 
Not trying to start an all-out flamewar here, but I was wondering what you all think about KVS's tool vs ExpertFlyer. I see significant pros and cons to each, but want to standardize on only one tool. I fly AA exclusively.

Well, Expertflyer has viewability of all of AA's hidden award and upgrade inventory on all routes. I don't think KVS offers this.

Agreed.

I think KVS is a great tool. But for me, flying AA is all about getting to sit in F. Being able to see upgrade inventory is critical, and you have that available on EF.

The supported award/upgrade booking classes are different between the KVS Tool and EF, and the exact listings can be accessed via their respective websites.

OP's inquiry appears to have to do more with an AA-specific question, than the broader issue that is implied by the thread's subject...

I'm sorry, my response was a little sloppy. I just meant to note that for AA specfically, the X inventory upgrade information is important.
