You can't find d and w with KVS' tool

1.3.6 consistently gives the message: "Reservation system is currently unavailable. Please try later... " when using AUA/*A, no matter how often I try.

KVS - can you take off a few weeks and work on the UA website please? ;)

Is there a specific city pair/date combination that you're requesting availability for?


Such an error message would only be coming directly from AUA's servers so I can only speculate as to what is causing it... Also, try clearing the cookies in Internet Explorer.

LOL :D

I am still getting "Error requesting data"

Is there a possibility that different methods show different availability results, e.g. F9 using AUA/*A and F4 using ITN/UA? If yes, what does this mean?

That is normal, amadeus shows up to 9 free seats, whereas United's (Gallileo) system shows a max of 4.

Peter42, thank you very much for the information!

proxy with authentication
 

Hi KVS,

my network requires to use a proxy with authentication for accessing the internet. I installed the latest version on your tool today and cannot get anything. IE 6 installed on my machine works just fine, the aeroplan tool also picks up my proxy setting, just he KVS tool doesn't. Any suggestions?

Regards Oliver

Proxy Authentication Not Supported
 

Due to the limitations of the Microsoft's MSIE interface that the tool is using, proxy servers requiring authentication are not currently supported. Only standard proxy servers are supported at this time and the tool will automatically use MSIE's proxy settings.

"Error requesting data"
 

Hi KVS,

first of all thanks for the amazing tool. Works for me, but the AUA/*A gives me the same message all the time as for some of the others in this thread. Got no clue for the reason. None of the restrictions apply to my system what has been discussed before (got broadband, can connect to the aua link, no pop-up blocker or firewall installed - besides the router)...

cheers

Version 1.3.7 Released
 

Version 1.3.7 of the KVS Availability Tool is now available for download.

Major Changes:

• ITN/CWT: New [POS Selection] option has been added:
  • Default selection of (CWT/NY) should work for most users.
    Selecting a different POS may provide add'l booking classes for some airlines.
  • Now displays cancelled flights ("CANCELLED")
  • Now displays same-day already departed flights ("PAST SCHEDULE")
  • Now shows complete seat maps for AC flights (not just the first few rows as was often the case in the past)
  
  
  
• Sabre/AUA: New [Host Selection] option has been added:
  • Default selection of (Auto) should work for most users.
    However, if you are having trouble with that option selected, try selecting one of the other hosts (1-4).
    The upside of selecting a specific host is an increase in the speed with which the requests are processed by up to 200%.
    The downside is that you may need to re-select a host from time to time (e.g. when 1 doesn't work, try 2, etc.)

Thanks ...

• To those users who have made a contribution :)

Thanks again KVS. I've changed laptops again so have downloaded the latest version and will PM you later.

Cheers for the hard work!

Hi KVS,
now AUA works again with selecting a AUA host - THANKS!
