FANTASTIC - Got it! Thanks for both your help lallyr and KVS, much appreciated!

Sorry, false alarm.
The redesign of the AU Zuji site is a right pain!
I emailed them, but it was a 'tough luck mate' reply.

Oh well.

Any chance that the KVS Tool might be modified to display limited routing rules, like ExpertFlyer currently does? ExpertFlyer shows single-connect city options (though not full routing rules). It's better than nothing. Knowledge of valid cities, how many transfers are possible, and an educated guess as to legal routings is still better than guessing in the dark.

Unfortunately, that is not currently possible.

In the meantime, I would suggest plugging-in the fare basis (shown by the KVS Tool) into the ITA engine using the following special syntax to see [at least some of] the possible routings:

Code:
From: ::/ F YY..FBASIS
To:  ::/ F YY..FBASIS
For best results, click on [More Options] and UnCheck the [Check seat availability] option.

AA Upgrade for Miles?
 
I used this tool a while back but haven't use it since I changed computers. Before I download it again - is it possible to view AA Upgrade to next class (non fullfare Coach to Business) for miles? On recent bookings, AA books these as Class C.

Thanks.

Does this mean that routing rules will not be coming back to KVS any time soon?

Not necessarily, but, at this point, the date when they may return is not known...

No, ExpertFlyer.com is the only tool that has access to AA upgrade (C,R,X) classes as of today.

What's New in Version 3.0.3
  1. [ORT: Awards/SkyTeam] Method Enhanced:
    • This Method now includes a choice of 2 Point-of-Sale options. Also, award availability support for AF has been restored.

It's a regular published fare and can be booked via any booking source, including calling AI Res directly.

[QUOTE=KVS;9857906]What's New in Version 3.0.0

Since updating to 3.1.1 (PLAT) I can no loger get Delta Fare rules using ZUJ
(both SG and HK). When you click on View fare Rules or Fare Summary I get ERROR Retreiving fare rules block error message. Doing BOS to ATL on DL,. All the fares are listed (RT/Max), Same issue on AA BOS-LAX.

Worked fine yesterday with previous revision.
