FlyerTalk Forums - KVS Availability Tool

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.

Updated -- thanks!

Keep getting a error when pulling Sabre:fares/ZUJ. Both the HK and SG option give me a yahoo error and the AU gives me a "unable to retrieve fares"

AU POS is no longer valid; you need to use SG or HK POS. Otherwise, all systems continue to function normally.

What is the "Yahoo error"?

CPT - LHR OneWorld Awards

CPT - LHR is no longer working using the OneWorld Awards access method.

Even with Extended Mode ticked - it continues to give the Data Source Error Message.

I've also tried combinations of CPT - LON - but no luck.

This is a new problem - as it was previously working last week withou issue.

Is US J Inventory Now Hidden?

The last time I booked a flight to Europe (in early May) I was able to use KVS to check on the availability of J (upgrade to business class) inventory on US. Today I was checking availability for an upcoming trip and now none of Apollo, Sabre, WSpan or Galileo provided information on J availability. Has US hidden this? And if so, is there some other way to access this information?

Thanks.

Regards,

David

Hi,

What I have bookmarked is the following:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...are+classes%27

According to message #2, J is the business class upgrade bucket. Of course, this dates from December 2006, but so far as I know, J is still the correct class. And, while your wonderful tool was showing the J inventory earlier this month, I was not able to see it today.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Regards,

David

I was able to confirm that J class still exists, but if US had decided to hide it, then unfortunately, there is not much I can do ...

It looks like I should pose a question over on the US Airways forum and see if anyone over there knows what is going on with US and J.

Thanks for your fast replies,

David

KVS,

I just noticed that LH has pulled I-class and O-class availability this morning from Sabre/ITN, and all other methods - can you confirm?

Thanks!

Edited to Add: *Of course* this has to happen on the day I ticket!

Expert Flyer also showing same results....

Just tried it, and it seems to work fine... If it happens again, pls e-mail me a screenshot.

When FOREX rates cannot be obtained, the Tool will automatically revert to showing ZUJ fares in SGD/HKD.
