KVS Availability Tool

FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Xyzzy
Where does the KVS tool get its data and is KVS authorized to provide this data in the manner it is presented?

The tool is known to access a variety of web sites, many in a manner that is not authorized. Please see the next section of this Wiki for a list of sites believed to be accessed and their data access policies (where known).

Additionally, under some conditions the tool appears to access sites via a KVS-operated back end. This means that the tool is not just a 'web browser' that runs via a user's machine. No detailed public information is available about how this works or whether any of this back-end access is authorized.

Note that there are actually two booking classes for each award category.

That's because United's internal systems allow some special two character booking classes (XF/NF/XC/NC) which don't work in most other booking engines including large GDSs, e.g. Abacus, Amadeus, Apollo, Sabre and Worldspan and/or major web sites, e.g. Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity.

In either case, it's almost impossible to look at inventory levels for these booking classes.
Thanks Jet Yi, it's very much appreciated! Does anyone else know the award booking classes for SQ and AC?
Cheers!

Hi gang,

i was just playing around with this great tool.
When i search for LH756 next Thursday i get:

[KVS Availability Tool 3.0.51/Lite - Apollo: ITN/US-ARL]

This flight on the way back is turning into LH757 every day, but when i use SWAP and enter 29.03.08 the flight is not showing up:

You probably have the time set to maybe 7am or 8am.

LH757 leaves BOM @ 03:25 so you have to set the time for the search to 00:00.

I always keep my time set to: "(any)" in the tool...

By the way, welcome to FT, Michael! (db8us!)

Note that I just tried this with my Platinum subscription, and Apollo is only showing the same info. (1 flight, LH 1611)

In Sabre I see LH757.

I would try using the tool at: www.seatcounter.com - that site has a link to a GDS similar to Sabre, I think....

The exact meaning of "(Any Time)" varies by Engine/GDS.

As mentioned in the KVS Tool FAQ, "If the flight departs very early (e.g. 03 [am]) or very late (e.g. 23:50), you may need to specify a specific value in the [Time:] field to make such a flight appear":

KVS - Error searching for Awards/StarAlliance

Hello,

I am getting an error message that shows "Initialization Error" "" when performing a search for availability. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can search regular fares through Sabre: ITN or Galileo: ETR, etc. however need to check *A awards availability.

Will very much appreciate if someone is able to advise ASAP if they are experiencing the same issue.

On a side note, is there a way of searching award availability by month rather than searching through each day?

Cheers.

Hello,

I have newly subscribed to the Lite version of the KVS tool. I found some irregularities with Qatar Airways flights displays. E.g., when searching for DOH-MUC on April 2, it does not display the widely open nonstop flight QR9. Any thoughts why?
