I've read through the PayPal website to see how it works. Is it really as simple as sending the amount to the e-mail address in your profile? Anything I should be concerned about with the website?

Paypal is the payment system created for/by Ebay. I use it all the time to transfer money, make purchases and receive money for auction items I've sold on Ebay. I've even used it to make charitiable donations.

I don't think you need to worry

Have started to poke about with KVS and I have a question ... the seat map for economy seats only seems to ever bring up rows 12-19 on the AC flights? Why would that be? If I go through an old ITN interface directly it brings up the full economy seating map -- not with KVS? Am I doing something incorrectly?

PS: A great tool so far! ^

Same thing with the Carlson Wagonlit interface. I had been wondering why. 12-19 at least for economy on the 333.

ITN-CWT Seat Map for AC

The seat map function in the KVS Availability Tool uses ITN-CWT and this seems to be a [rather strange] problem with that engine...

BTW, I am not sure what exactly do you mean by the "old ITN interface"?

Presumably www.itn.net, and then its continuation as an Amex operation, still using the itn engine. Until a couple weeks ago when they moved to a Sabre thing, which no longer provides availability by booking code.

Well, www.itn.net/ does not really exist (nor did it exist before the recent changeover took place): Before the recent changes, www.itn.net/ was redirecting to Amex Travel, which at that time was using the ITN engine. As of a few weeks ago, www.itn.net/ redirects to Amex Travel, which is now using the Travelocity engine...

Sorry for not being clearer ... what I meant was if I use this url directly (I know ... blasphemy :D):

Thanks KVS
 
Starting using the KVS tool in late 2004 and find it very worthwhile. Still learning the ropes on what it can and cannot do. The thread is really valuable in answering many questions.

New Version 1.3.4 Released / New Tool Setup
 
First of all, just wanted to say thanks to all those FT'er who have sent their contributions over the past 2 weeks. Also, thanks to certain Australian FT'er who had donated webhosting services for the tool download page, most of the download issues discussed in this thread earlier are now a thing of the past!

Version 1.3.4 of the KVS Availability Tool is now available for download.

Major Changes:
  • New Setup:
    • Tool setup download is now a single .EXE file
    • Additional installation options added, including an option to create a desktop shortcut for the tool (requested by a number of users)

Minor Changes:
  • New Seatmap Options:
    • Seatmap using ITN/CWT
    • Seatmap using ITN/UA (use this option when ITN/CWT does not show complete map for AC flights)
