*A awards is not working for flights to/from/within the States (showing "@")..it works in canada however for AC...

okay... it's working now... I wondering why it didn't work last night... hmmm

I'm searching for Award availability on routes between SEA and LHR using Amadeus/OneWorld and I can see the availability from LHR to SEA on BA with no difficulty, but whenever I try to search for SEA to LHR, I get the error message which states, "Award availability cannot be checked for the specified origin and/or destination. Please checked extended and try again..."

I've got the extended mode checked, and it works flawlessly for the opposite directions. Any ideas?

Most likely, one of the StarNet datalinks was temporarily down...

It's one of the [current] limitations of the QF award availability engine.

Please report this problem to QF (simply specifying that you are unable to check award availability between the cities involved) using the form at http://qantas.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/q...sk.php?p_li=**

And welcome to FT!

When searching for SkyTeam awards on Delta for ATL to FCO, I get a "Route too complex" error, even though I know Delta flies a nonstop on this route. What's the problem?

There is a periodically recurring issue with award availability for some of DL's long-haul flights. Please try again in a day or so...

Should I join KVS?
 

So KVS looks like a pretty amazing tool. But I fly Mexicana 90% of the time and it looks like info for Mexicana may be pretty limited. So...
Can KVS tell me how many seats are available on a specific Mexicana flight in fare class K?
Can it tell me if award upgrades are available for a specific Mexicana flight? Thank you.

Yes, it sure can.

What is MX's booking class for "award upgrades"?

MX Booking code for upgrades
 

It is "D".

Then yes:

[KVS Availability Tool 3.1.0/Platinum - Apollo: ITN/US-ARL]

why KVS can not be also explicit for award flights than "expert flyer"?:

Could you pls explain what you mean by that?

this is not an attack... but I found on a french forum this thread about award availability.
If i try to find this award availability on KVS:
[KVS Availability Tool 3.1.0/Platinum - ORT: Awards/SkyTeam/US-NWA]
[CODE]AMS Amsterdam-Schiphol NL [EHAM]
LAX Los Angeles Int'l CA US [KLAX]

Carrier Flight From Depart To Arrive A/C Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- ---- ----------------
NW/KL 8601 AMS 13:30 LAX 15:30 747 CS- CA+ YS- YA+

This not very explicit CS- CA+ YS- YA+ instead of

First (Domestic) - Award A 1 NW 86020 LAX
where you can see directly that you have one First class reward availability...

But perhaps I am wrong?

But it's the same thing :confused::

[KVS Availability Tool 3.1.0/Platinum - ORT: Awards/SkyTeam/US-NWA]
CS = Standard Business (C)/First Award
+ = 1 Seat Is Available

[QUOTE=KVS;9736666]But it's the same thing :confused::

For you, but not for me... sorry.
I use KVS for prices, class availability but not for awards because it is not enough directly clear to understand. I am not a professional, only a short sigth:cool:ed...
