Thank you to both of the KVS & EF for answering my questions.

KVS: still need application on every computer?
You also need the KVS server not to be down when it checks that you're allowed to run the app, which exposes KVS's "no need to log in" claim as a rather poor joke. |

http://publicbackup.com/shared/flyertalk/availability/ Always liked it above seatcounter (which is also down). I have EF basic but prefer to save my searches for award rather than std avail. Any other free tools out there? Flightstats is too basic (core bucket vs each fare bucket) and: http://tools.wanderingaramean.com/To...Inventory.aspx doesn't seem to be working. Ideas? Thanks. |
Not to restart the debate but...
How to both sites stack on on DL/Skyteam availabaility?
Cheers! |

wanderingaramean.com
The site says it is offline. Will signing up lead me to the site that is active.
Also what is the cost of using this service? |

The only source for DL award availability is Delta.com, anything else is derived from that.

Would KVS be useful to search for Skyteam given, as the other poster alluded to, delta.com is broken for low award availability and KVS' info comes from there?

The Tool now has award availability coverage across most SkyTeam member carriers, including AF/KL/DL/AZ/SU/OK/RO/KQ/UX/CZ/VN. But even before this, KVS Tool members have been long enjoying its 'classic' SkyTeam & DL 3-tier award search functionality:

IT WORKS!! I just found a pdx-ams-fco-ams-pdx trip, BE in March that showed award availability at the "low" level on KVS, went to dl.com, signed on, searched for the round-trip award, selected the flights that KVS showed as low level and voila, 100k miles. I didn't even have to search by segment on either KVS or dl.com, I just put in the cities and let 'er rip.

And don't get me started about calling DL for help, with the draconian limitations on the number of dates that its agents will sweep before another phone call is required coupled with a widespread belief of said agents (at least those who serviced me, anyway)that CDG-SEZ and vice-versa isn't even bookable because the metal is HM's.
For those who want to go to the Seychelles on DL and don't want to spend all their time tearing out their hair, I cannot recommend a subscription to KVS strongly enough. |

I downloaded v6 but do not see the SU availability using this method. Can you confirm if it should be included?
