Appears to be OK for me - slower than normal but displaying fare rules OK

Indeed, there are no current issues to report with the Fares/ZUJ Method. babbyf: Could you pls be a bit more specific?

Does KVS show ALL fares between two ports?
 
I ask because, using a local travel agent's web site and searching for 'PER to ORD via NRT on 13-Sep-08' I see two fares, both with AA for AUD1935 and AUD 2133 (the higher fare allows stopovers in TYO and LAX). Yet using KVS' ZUJ Fares, the lowest fare dispayed is for AUD2365 and DotRes' fares are even higher.

The web site is holidayplanet.com.au, if that's relevant at all. I searched this thread but couldn't find anything on this topic

KVS Tool shows all published fares. The fares in question appear to be holidayplanet.com.au's private/confidential/consolidator fares, and are only available via that booking source.

Also, keep in mind that holidayplanet.com.au does not actually support online bookings, so there is no way to tell if the fares shown are even still valid or applicable to your itinerary...

Aha - private/confidential/consolidator fares
Thanks for that KVS

I'm getting the error message:


Unable To Retrieve Fares:

"ZUJI Australia: Your Online Travel Guru"

""

If the reason(s) for the above error message are unclear, please click the [?] button to review the latest system status announcements.
I am using version 3.1.0.

I've figured out why it wasn't working for me. I had the POS set as "AU", but I'm guessing the redesign of the AU Zuji site has screwed things up. But it works if I change the POS to "SG".

Sorry, false alarm.

Thanks for the report -- the ZUJ AU POS is no longer valid and will be removed as of the next update.

Holy ****! RTW fares with rules are popping up on Fares/ZUJ! Just put in the same from and to cities. At least, this works for me using BDA...

Playing around with cities I got some circle trip fares to pop up too.

Yay!

Is there any way to search for multiple airports at one time (example: BOS to LAX, SNA and ONT)? I searched for an answer but couldn't find one.

Of course, its pretty easy to search individually and compile, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something.

No, as the existing reservation systems cannot handle these kinds of requests.

When I call SK resevations they say there is no award availability for any of the flights.

In fact they say there is no seat left even to purchase.

When I go to Singapore Airlines web site I also get no seats for sale.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Looks like SQ had [mis-]loaded incorrect award availability data for that flight into StarNet ...
