It's not a bug. It's KVS no longer being able to retrieve data from a source it probably had no right to be reselling in the first place.

Is there a way to read fare rules and routing rules, even for W/C/F?

Can't find this in the desktop app.

The problem is that KVS was caught pilfering data :eek:nce again.

The [Awards/DL-SkyTeam] Method issue has now been resolved.

It is fixed. Thank you KVS tool

SQ stopped working once again :(

Yes, SQ has been down for some time now so I'm not sure if I will renew my subscription after this time as there is too much down time for SQ vs the $$ paid. I wrote to KVS about the SQ problem via their site but there was no response. Perhaps they are on vacation?

Chilling in FUN :cool:

There is an ongoing issue with the [Awards/SQ] Engine. We have already posted a notice on the KVS Tool Homepage and will post further updates, as they become available.

In the meantime, please use the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] & [Awards/NH-StarAlliance] Methods to search for Partner Awards on SQ flights.

Dear KVS,

Thank you most kindly for your reply here! Wasn't expecting that, so thank you!

If I may kindly make a small suggestion? When other online travel tools (ie. TripIt Pro, etc), come across functionality issues like this and someone writes to their website form about that problem, often they extend the membership as goodwill. So, might be something to think about for the duration that the SQ function is down as some members (like myself, a Diamond member) only purchase KVS to use the SQ function and we really appreciate being appreciated, just as I'm sure you do also. Just my two cents anyway in the nicest possible way ))

Keep in mind that in the past when some data sources disappeared and reappeared at higher levels those who had paid for the lower levels were asked by KVS to re-up at the higher rate to get the same thing. A great deal of the data KVS provides is data that KVS is N:eek:T authorized by data owners to provide. Any data provided is subject to going away at any time -- when the legitimate owners figure out what is going on and cut KVS off. Caveat emptor!

We are pleased to confirm that the technical issue with the [Awards/SQ] Method has been resolved in KVS Tool V8.6.2

Availability info in main tool
 

Hi,

Is it only possible to search actual availability on the mobile app? Can i not see availability buckets in the main tool?

I had KVStool a few years ago and seem to remember searching on the main tool.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi arir,

No, you're not doing anything wrong. That feature hasn't been available in the main tool for quite some time (perhaps years). It's only available on the mobile tool.

KVS Tool is not what it used to be... Well it depends on point of view... It is still money making business that steals someone else's data, but at least in one area does it little bit more properly. And that's the reason why availability works only on mobile version and you are limited to certain number of searches per month.

is SQ award availability working for anyone? keep getting timeout errors.

Just read through this thread and run away from KVS as fast as you can!

The [Awards/SQ] Method continues to function normally in the KVS Tool, but may require MSIE to be properly configured.

As always, KVS Tool Members should contact us directly if they require further assistance.

Oct 31 today

Just in the TIMETABLE tab. Doesn't matter what dates or origin or destination or airlines I put in.

Was working fine yesterday

Please select the correct option (Timetable) under Method.

I'm sure this has been answered in the past but any reason for why Reg Av cannot be implemented in the desktop version?

It has been asked in the past, but never answered in a straightforward way. See for example posts in this thread from November 2014.

It has been there in the past, but all the fraudulent ways of getting to getthere.com (lorraine travel, marathon corporate and few others) that KVS was using have been closed...

I've been getting this error message for quite a while when trying to do an SQ search. All troubleshooting (including using a VPN) hasn't worked. Any suggestions?

Also getting this error. Located in the USA.

Another "KVS Method" got busted? :D

We are pleased to confirm that this technical issue with the [Awards/SQ] Method has already been resolved in KVS Tool V8.6.6, as noted on the official KVS Tool Homepage.

Which translated to plain English means - we have found another way of fraudulently scraping SQ site and it will work only until SQ closes this hole too...

Getting errors accessing information today. Error requesting data/ Cannot connect to server :-(

Another "provider" found out about KVS's illegal activities and closed the loophole... Enjoy your subscription and mourn your investment in this fraud...

The [Timetable] Engine was experiencing a server outage issue, which has now been resolved.

Please contact us via the official support channels (website or e-mail), in order to receive accurate and timely information.

That's an interesting use of the word "official".

Reporting issues with the KVS scraper app here potentially benefits a broad community of 'members', interested individuals and unofficial users.

Can KVS search for UA R-space upgrade availability? If so, how do I search for it?

UA does not publish its R-Class Availability, so it is not searchable via any tool or service.

For a list of supported Award/Upgrade Booking Classes, please consult the UA section of the KVS Tool User Guide.

TG202 on Apr 6.

Been trying to look at the seat map in econ for the past 2 months but keep on coming up "Seat map is unavailable or closed". Anyone know why?

I was able to do it for a similar TG flight back in Oct.

I would say its more unusual that you were able to do it previously.
TG seatmaps are typically unavailable for domestic flights...on HKT flights I would say the chance of aircraft swap is very high so they never allow management of seat allocation online etc.
So this isn't a KVS issue...it's a TG 'thing'.

There's a few quirks I've noticed on the KVS timetable search where some results aren't showing through. Any ideas on what's happening?

1. Some legal connections don't seem to show up. I've come across this a few times E.g. LAD-DXB-LIS on EK, DLA-ADD-FRA on ET, MAO-PTY-POS on CM etc.
Could it be that these are all connections that significantly exceed the direct routing mileage and are therefore edited out of the results? Even if the airlines themselves publish and sell fares on these markets?

2. Some airports seem to not be available at all. DSS for instance, the new airport in Dakar yields a "the requested origin is invalid" result even if most (all?) airlines have moved operations from DKR

All you get is what you pay for. If you pay thieves, all you get is stolen goods. And that's exactly what you're doing and getting from KVS... Honestly, if I was you, I would be happy that I was getting at least something :D Potentially, KVS could disappear completely any moment and you would not have any recourse... It has been well known for years that the company is fraudulent and uses fraudulent if not illegal methods. I cannot believe that people are still paying money to this scum...
