Just a quick question to the experts:
Does KVS look up internet bookings on Malaysia Airlines?

I picked up a $0++ fare and a $29++ fare today and would like to see the PNR in a PNR lookup. MH seems to not have a straight lookup facility on its site.

viewtrip.com seems to not work for my PNRs.

Pls see ual744777sta's answer above...

One last thing - will it run OK on a crappy low-end Compaq 2Ghz Celeron w. 1Gb RAM and the horrible hog Vista? :eek:

Absolutely. In fact it can even run on systems that are as ancient as 15 years old with 8MBs (0.008 GBs) of RAM!

You can enter your eticket number at the "OneWorld E-Ticket" function. Although MH is not part of OW it still works. I even entered my UA ticket, which has just UA flights, and it worked.

Thanks for the tip! ^

If you and/or other Platinum-tier members could try to use that function with other non-OW airlines' e-Ticket numbers and report the results here, I will compile an extended list of supported carriers ...

It works with several non-oneworld-airlines like Air France and Lufthansa, but not with Emirates.

It definitely shows e-tickets on AF and LH stock who are not on your list, but no luck for EK stock for me. (BD stock doesn't work either)

Thanks for the tips. I have only received one e-mail from MH re. one of the paid bookings. It has the e-ticket number so I can use teh LAN or OW checker.

I will have to check w. MH on the lak of an e-mail for the earlier paid booking.
MH e-ticket number didn't work.

Maybe I should type it as 232-xxxxx... ?

FYI MH cancelled my original booking (which had references re payment) so it actually cancelled two bookings! One paid, one not recognised as paid, so requested for a biller reversal.

The third one worked and I'm just rebooking the original flight. Fingers crossed that I can get a confirmation (from SITA) with eticket numbers, then I know it was completed!

Fingers crossed it gets all the way through the MAS payment gateway this time...

Asiana worked for me via OW

I was happy to see that my OZ eticket number (booked via travelocity) did work through the OW option.

When I used KVS tool to determine Sky Team award availability (especially when I clicked on Delta airlines), for any route (eg YOW-ATL, or YOW-MCO), the message said that the routing was too complex for award availability to be displayed. That does not make sense, as there are 2 Delta nonstop flights a day between Ottawa and Atlanta.

Thanks, just pulled up etickets on AS and US stock using the LA/OW feature, I hadn't realized this was possible ^

Thought I'd share the report since I didn't see US in your list yet.
