The same for me and after having used the tool for many years and having made 10 or so contributions I feel slightly scammed - no more availability in the tool itself, a mobile companion that doesn't work either, ...
I always felt that KVS worked best for me but it looks like time has come to switch to a different tool - how does for example ExpertFlyer compare?

And wouldn't it be decent for KVS to return at least part of the money he took for a tool that now has been stripped of it's core functionality?

I was long term "financial supporter" of KVS too... I've questioned KVS practices some time ago, but hey, the tool worked wonders for me, so I shut up at the end. But IMHO, the tool is now worthless and will disappear completely soon... Found different solution for myself - trusted brick and mortar travel agent...

He/she will tell you that there are "other" valuable functions in the tool that are worth your money...

Agreed. I've been using and contributing for seven years. If the availability function doesn't return in the next few days I'll be requesting a full refund.

Good luck to those requesting a refund. I couldn't even get an extension (after years of 'contributing' at the Diamond level), but I guess at this point it doesn't much matter.

Hello <again>, Mr / Ms KVS!!

Can we PLEEEEEEZ have an update?!?!?

MC availability still down. Is it fixable, or gone for good? Inquiring minds want to know, so that we can get on with our lives!

:D

We are still awaiting a definitive outcome regarding the MC [Availability] Engine status and will post an update on the KVS Tool Homepage as soon as it becomes available, one way or the other.

In the meantime, thank you for your patience.

I, and I'm sure many others, am certainly hopeful that you can work it out somehow. I think this is the only avenue left to get revenue fare class availability without paying a huge monthly amount to Saabre.

That said, I will surely be asking for a refund, as this is basically all I use it for - and I just renewed less than a week ago.

Well, now, the "availability" choice is gone from the dropdown box. Eagerly awaiting an official response.

KVS I'm noticing that all UA flights when doing a Star Alliance search (ANA tool) are showing "F/" even though F class is available. Is UA blocking that information from *A partners now?

shuuy Jan 25, 2015 12:06 pm

Mr. KVS was kind, and without questions to offer a pro-rata refund. Thank you

So, is it for certain now, that the Availability function is gone for good?

The MC [Availability] option has now been re-enabled.
