Which translated to normal language means: "We have been busted again and we are looking at ways how to scrap differently or elsewhere..." :D

The best discount advice is to save your money. You never know what you're getting with this "tool" as what's delivered is ever changing depending on when those who are unwittingly supplying it disc;)ver what's going on. Many people have purchased"donated" only to find out the data they were looking for disappears shortly thereafter. Caveat emptor!

So not very reliable :-(

That's such a shame. Used it at Diamond level for a few years a while back and it was great to begin with. I do recall it getting flakier towards the end of my usage though.

And it is still is (and more powerful than ever). As of this month, there are now 118 airlines for which KVS Tool supports Award/Upgrade Availability.

We look forward to welcoming you back as a Member.

Sketchy business practices; sketchy (unauthorized) data sources and sketchy software? S;)unds just like what we've come to expect.

Yes, it is not unusual for Windows Defender to detect a false positive.

Please disregard the erroneous warning and also consider switching to a more reliable anti-virus software.

Timetable unavailable since days, and now this when searching award space for 3pax.
What is the problem this time?

The [XY] Engine is currently experiencing a system outage.

In the meantime, please use the [XY] function in the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.

We will update the notice on the KVS Tool Homepage once the issue is resolved.

The [Awards/M&M] Method is currently being updated to accommodate the new M&M Engine and will offer faster multi-cabin searches and support for Premium Economy Awards on participating airlines.

We expect that this update will be completed within 72 hours.

In the meantime, please use the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] & [Awards/NH-StarAlliance] Methods.

KVS, any update on the timetable function?

Is it likely that this is gone for ever or is it a genuinely temporary error?

It would be good to know. Effectively the timetable function is the only useful function for me on KVS so it would be a shame if it's going the way of the availability functionality.

We expect that the Timetable issue will be resolved by the end of this week.

Thanks. Fingers crossed ^

KVS, thanks for the update. Timetable seems to be working now... sort of.

While it works fine for nonstop flights, it doesn't work on direct services with intermediate stops. For example searching LHR-SYD shows no direct flights although BA15 does show up on LHR-SIN and SIN-SYD and QF2 on the LHR-DXB, DXB-SYD legs.
