V2.9.2 is currently in the works, and has not yet been released...

Is there a place where I can see a database of all flights originating in the US?

Very unlikely.

www.faa.gov

You might have to hack your way past some stuff but I'm certain the information is there. Or ask rkkwan!

I am trying to find award availability on LX through SNT Star Alliance access method. This method gives me an error message "there is no applicable class on internet for this sector ..."- for all LX routes that I enter, even though the other access methods confirm that LX flies these routes (eg ZRH - LHR, ZRH - DEL, ZRH - YUL etc)

As stated in the KVS Tool FAQ, that Method currently supports the following *A carriers only: AC/NZ/NH/OZ/OS/BD/LO/LH/SQ/TG/SA/UA/US/JK

Sorry, I missed that. When do you think that LX awards will become available through this method? If the lack of availability for LX awards specific to the KVS tool, or would the same problem be there if I tried to get the information directly through the ANA web site?

I am afraid I do not currently have any info as to when LX award data may become available. It is also not currently accessible via the ANA website.

As it just so happens, we found a way to get LX award availability (O,I,X classes) on ExpertFlyer, more about it in the LX forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...52#post8677252 Enjoy.

I think it works for every *A carrier except LX, so you may add SK/TP/JP/OU/KF to the list.

Indeed -- I was just able to confirm this, and the list of supported *A carriers has now been updated to: AC/UA/US/LH/OS/SK/TP/LO/JK/BD/SQ/NZ/NH/OZ/TG/SA/JP/OU/KF

Which is right?
On US Air Nov 10th, CLT-SEA flt 1625, your tool says F4 but Seat Counter and GetThere are showing 9 or more. Should we be kissing an SP upgrade goodbye?

Both are correct -- as mentioned in the KVS Tool FAQ, "depending on the airline and the GDS system used, the maximum number can be one of the following: 9, 7, or 4.".
