Discrepancies of that nature are not technically possible -- could you please provide screenshot(s)?

Can you create a fare alert to notify us when a seat upon up on a certain flight in a certain paid or award class?

FYI for Mac users. Installed PlayonMAC after the Crossover Trial expired. So far so good.

unable to search for award availability on BA, it's saying there is a CAPTCHA verification required that is not supported

A3 availability is again not working? I tried it several times and get the flight at the results but not the availability.

edit: resolved

I'm late hearing about BA accounts being locked as a result of using KVS Tool. Where can I find more information on this issue, and is it possible to unlock one's BA account? Thanks!

KVS tool not allowing BA searches. Just get constant Engine Velocity exceeded warnings

Since it is a bit tedious searching day by day I have been sampling random dates (Monday/Tuesday/Wed) over many months. (I've been using KVS - QF and BA methods).
QR Award Availability appears to be quite limited on those routes, but it does exist.

You may wish to use the [Power Search] function in the KVS Tool if your dates are flexible:

Actually just yesterday I noticed the following after further research:-

QF will not show QR availability ex-Australia even when available - clearly QF 'prefers' to offer QF, EK and CX - it will show QR on other routes (e.g. BKK-DOH)

BA will show availability ex-Australia if you search for 1 seat - when available usually 2 or more seats are actually available (e.g. as seen by CS2, ...). This seems to be a KVS/BA method quirk as if I use the BA site directly it works.

It seems availability has improved recently to/from Australia and DOH or there was some IT issue with searching previously. I have not tried to make a booking via AA - just searching for future reference when looking for options to/from Europe.

This should not be happening -- could you please provide specific example(s)?

I just re-tried one of my sample search dates for SYD-DOH and KVS/BA method is now showing correct availability if I select either 1 or 2 seats. It definitely was not 2 days ago - I did recently upgrade to KVS 7.9.1R2 but I can't recall if I was using the previous version or not. My apologies for any confusion.

But the good news is there is now availability on QR ex-Australia when a couple of weeks ago there seemed to be absolutely none.

Hopefully that's the same case with ex-NA. Few weeks ago there were tons of seats on almost every flight on every date now you can't get anything on any date.
