It has been de-enhanced, so that this is no longer available. You can see availability, with some restrictions, on the mobile tool.

THanks! As for the mobile tool, you mean the Diamond-level tool? Because the regular website requires some username/password, which I do not recall setting up...

I suspect LE means www.kvstool.com/mc which does require your username and password.

Yes, LondonElite is referring to the tool available at the diamond level. What website are you referring to?

Correct. There is also a mobile app you can use, but you need the diamond level functionality for this. Did you not receive a registration code from KVS?

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

Regular Availability is currently accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion (at the Diamond Level).

Please contact us via http://Contact.KVSTool.com/ for further assistance.

What happened to fare search for all carriers?
I seem to be able to only search one and one.

Could you please clarify the issue?

When searching for fares between city pairs I was able to choose all carriers and filter for e.g. *A.
Now I cannot find this option..

Also, is there an option to either search for specific fares/booking classes or increase the number of fares to be listed?

For some searches I got a large quantity of the same fare with marginally increased prices.

"(All Airlines)" is the first option in the Airline list -- please scroll up or enter "**".

Unfortunately, no.

Used to be but in my list the first entry is YY - However ** still works, so that solves my problem.
Thanks.

Any plans to provide fare information for the USA? I was very surprised this wasn't available.

Unsecured data is harder and harder to c;)me by these days. See the wiki for details.

Ideally KVS would add this to the portfolio in a authorized way. I just gave up my ExpertFlyer subscription primarily because I fly Delta a lot, so was hoping for an alternative.

This limitation is definitely something that we are looking into.

"**" definitely remains the first item in the Airline list -- please ensure that you are scrolling all the way up.

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

This would be quite the trip in a Mad Dog:

(I know the flight number is carried for two segments.;))

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.

yes I read it: but I want an answer from the one to whom I gave my money since 10 years for a service completely degraded today. Probably my last year if nothing change

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?

These types of requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and can be submitted via http://Contact.KVSTool.com/

MC has been down for hours for me now.

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.

I don't have the MC anymore, but I'm also not getting to the KVS page.

KVS tool has been down for me since 11pm last night EST. I wonder if we could get an update on when service will be restored?

We are aware of intermittent server issues, which are impacting the KVS Tool Homepage and the Mobile Companion, and are working on resolving them ASAP.

This does not affect the main KVS Tool Application, which continues to function normally throughout this period.

Ditto here. I can't get the MC to load on my phone at all. The main (kvstool.com) website is still down all together.

Hello. Mr or Ms KVS! Any updates?!?

Thanx! :)

I just renewed for $75.

I guess that's one advantage of grabbing other people's data.

It seems to be up and working again. :)

Indeed, the server issue has been resolved and all KVS Tool systems are now working normally.

Looks like the issue resolved but the KVS tool WAS affected by the outage

And now MC alternates between being slow as molasses and being down. Not sure about the main KVS Tool but that doesn't show availability anymore anyway.

If this is the case, I wonder if the desktop tool's phone-home check was being interrupted by the outage.
