I tried this for you as well - common problem with KVS and 9w fares...

Sabre/Zuji is giving biz fares: I/Z/C/J, but no F fares.

Sabre/Dotres is giving only Y fares - nothing else.

I would simply go to www.jetairways.com and see what they are charging there, for reference.

You might wish to check with consolidators, as I know that one (JFK-based) I talked to was going to discuss fare agreements with Jet late summer this year (2007).

These issues are, most likely, caused due to the way certain Asia-based carriers [mis-]load fares into the system, so there isn't anything I can do to change that...

Wish: Please make it work in Apple Powerbook (Mac)
 

Pretty please?

Pls see KVS Tool FAQ under "Mac/Linux Compatibility" ...

I hope that you (and other Windows developers) recognize that for Mac users this is a completely useless Windows-centric answer.

I have been a customer of the tool for some time, but only because I have a Windows laptop in my environment. For those who are solely Mac users, it is unreasonable to expect them to use an emulator to run your application.

My response is - why isn't it written to be platform-independent?

For a Mac person, I would say that EF is a better choice. For now, I use both.

The use of a Mac is one's choice and I certainly respect that. I am willing to make reasonable accommodations in terms of compatibility (for example, an alternative keyboard shortcut was introduced to accommodate Mac users, who couldn't "right click").

Re-writing 15 000+ lines of code and taking a hit on decreased application performance from the use of "platform-independent" solutions? Sorry, but I would have to say no.

In any case, now that Apple had finally acknowledged the idiocy behind using a non-Intel processor architecture on consumer-grade machines, running a Win32 application on a modern Mac is easier than ever: http://kvs.unrealnetwork.com/Images/...elsDesktop.gif

Please tell me how I can do so without purchasing a copy of Windows for a significant price?

Or, to rephrase, in an Internet world, why a client at all?

Edited to say: I'm not trying to turn this personal against your business. I believe I've purchased 2 full subscriptions at the PLT level now, matter of fact. I'm just saying that pointing Mac users to a virtualization option may not get quite the warm response you expect. Many users would say if they wanted to run Windows, they'd have bought a Windows machine.

I think that this might be the wrong kind of forum for that :p.

Firstly, it's a performance issue -- no web-based solution will ever be as fast a well-written native [Win or Mac] application. Secondly, there are currently operational/technical constraints for making the Tool web-based.

Indeed, and I certainly appreciate your continued support of the project.

Greetings,

I was wondering if this could be something to work on in the future perhaps. KVS is giving me this as below:

[KVS Availability Tool 3.0.0/Platinum - Amadeus: Timetable/NL-BCDF]
As you can see it is EQV.

But if you access via another Amadeus system you get this:

TN01MARTPELAX/ASQ -TC-
** AMADEUS TIMETABLE - TN ** LAX LOS ANGELES.USCA 01MAR08 08MAR08

1 SQ 028 257 TPE 2 LAX B 2255 1840 0 02MAR08 07MAR08 772 11:45
2 SQ 028 1346 TPE 2 LAX B 2255 1840 0 01MAR08 08MAR08 77W 11:45

Which clearly shows B77E operating on Tuesday, Friday Saturday with the B77W operating on all other dates making it a daily service.

Is it just a case of different POS access points?

The current timetable engine does not 'break-up' flights if the only difference is the equipment type. This is done by the engine itself, so I have no control over this...

Ahh OK. Thanks KVS!

FYI
The Alaska award tool sometimes seems to do a superior job finding Skyteam bookings in the domestic US, in particular where AS/Horizon or DL/Skywest flights are required (in other words a big swath of the west coast). The AS tool also shows AA awards, and so it's really a nice supplement to both the ST and OW functions you have built into KVS. I know most people dont have AS accounts, but given how well it does building unconventional routes in the domestic US when the NW itool shows the same old 12:55am redeye, it is worth checking out.

Thanks for the info -- I will look into this...

Absence Alert
 

Just a reminder that an absence alert, which has been posted on the KVS Tool's homepage for the last two weeks, will come into effect shortly.

However, please feel free to submit registration/upgrade requests at any time, as I will be responding to all accumulated requests/e-mails upon my return.

For Platinum-tier members, holding a valid registration as of 01 December 2007, access to the KVS Tool Online Companion will continue to be available throughout this entire period (regardless of the actual expiration date).

Thanks for understanding and happy holidays!

Have a good trip! You may find my registration renewal when you return! ;)
