KVS vs. ExpertFlyer
 
I downloaded KVS and also signed up for ExpertFlyer. Before by ExpertFlyer runs out:

Assuming all I need is to see award availability, and assuming I can figure out what classes the various airlines use for award seats/upgrades, is there anything specific I do not have access to in KVS that ExpertFlyer gives me?

Keep in mind I do not need paid fare routing information that I know ExpertFlyer provides but KVS does not.

Thanks!

EK, AC and BA awards are my primary interest, so I guess each does two out of three. However, EK is the most important, so I guess I will keep my ExpertFlyer membership for now.

Out of curiosity, what data does ExpertFlyer have access to that KVS can not get, to get EK award availability?

Otherwise, you should check your current system Date, Time, and Time Zone settings to make sure that they are correct.
I think this is causing en error today for RTW search.

Nope - could it be internet connectivity?

Edited to Add: OK, now working - I know what happened! - Date was set to *2009*!

I'm confused....(again)
 
I at a loss here. CO flt 779 IAH-SAT When this flt appears at the top of the list paired with PIT-IAH flt 655 on Oct 11th, it shows lots of availability; but at the bottom of the page it's paired with Flt 2309 PIT-IAH it shows coach sold out. How does this happen?
