How to find fares on LHR-JFK with AF in business?

This would be quite the trip in a Mad Dog:

Unfortunately, the [Fares/GOL] Engine does not support specific Cabin requests. Premium Cabin Fares will be included if they are a part of the ~40 lowest published Fares on the requested route/carrier, but there is currently no way to force them to be displayed if they are not.

Will you change this engine and can you explain why have you change the engine that works before: license too expensive?

Good luck with that. As someone else said, perhaps proprietary data obtained in an unauthorized way is getting harder to come by. See wiki.

You gave money for permission to use KVS's scraping software to access bits of the internet for a period of time, with no guarantees that it would actually access anything useful to you: "features are subject to change without notice".

You thought you were buying a service because that's the way the scraper is marketed.

I'm planning a trip later this year, and would like to use AA miles to book a flight on CX. I've been using BA/JAL/QF sites a long with Award Nexus to monitor availability. Is there a main benefit to KVS vs these tools? The KVS option just seem more expensive. Thanks

The [Fares/PSH] Engine no longer exists and, as previously mentioned, the replacement [Fares/GOL] Engine does not support specific Cabin requests.

The main benefits are unified UI, speed and convenience.

Actually, it's usually the other way around, as the KVS Tool does not impose limits on the number of frequency of Award Availability searches that its users can perform.

Is KVS offering any discounts to their customers on renewal due to the loss of some of the features lately?

There has been a transient server issue lasting no more than 10 minutes earlier on.

Both for the MC and kvstool.com, I get "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found." Last night, and now too. Don't know if something was different during the night.

I'm afraid MC is down for me too now, both on my cellular and work desktop connection.

It was working properly yesterday night and this morning.
