I downloaded V12 but Crossover won't let me use KVS until I upgrade to V13 which is where the problem arises.

Just purchased a Diamond subscription, and have a couple questions regarding award search:

1) Can I search, say LAX->HKG, F availability from Dec 8 - Dec 12, or do I have to do one search for each day?

2) If my trip is from SEA -> PVG, but I want to fly on CX through HKG, should I search SEA->PVG, or should I do 3 searches like SEA->LAX, LAX->HKG, and HKG->PVG?

You would need to search SEA-LAX + LAX-PVG or SEA-PVG, depending on the Method used.

Contacted Crossover and they advised me as follows which worked:

"If you log into our website, you can download older versions of Crossover here http://www.codeweavers.com/account/d...s/?_dl=archive

I would suggest you install Crossover 12.5.1. Then when it is installed, open Crossover and click "Crossover" from the top menu bar. Select "Preferences" and choose the "Updates" tab. Here just uncheck the "Check for Crossover Updates" and you will able to remain on version 12.5.1"

I'm receiving a "Datasource Error [I]" when attempting Awards/AC-StarAlliance searches on relatively common routings that worked yesterday. Any ideas? Thanks.

That seems to work for a while, but I'm now getting the error again. Clearing the cookies doesn't seem to fix it this time. Odd.

The [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine appears to experience intermittent issues at the moment.

Please clear MSIE Cookies and download KVS Tool V7.3.2.R1 to ensure that an appropriate Error Message is displayed.

Are we getting better fare information back?

Hi, Are you planning to restore the previous fare search functionality (including YQ) any time soon? To be honest, a fare without YQ surcharges is only good for looking up rules, the price itself is meaningless.

When can we get a cloud version?

I don't think KVS would work in the cloud, since it would encounter problems trying to access airline websites continuously for different users from the same IP address.

So unless the present limited access to the airline data is changed (so you don't need to log in to your account) to get the info, it won't work.
Expert Flyer tried to do this as a web application and was blocked as a result....

Yes, just as soon as the relevant Engine becomes available again.

In the meantime, please double-click a Fare and use the [ITA Query Builder] function to calculate the total pricing, including Surcharges:

I am a first time user of KVS and subscribed last week. I have looked through the docs, signed up for the ANA account, but am not having luck doing the following:

Search for upgrade availability on UA, from coach to business class, using a GPU on an eligible fare (ie W class or higher).

These are the parameters I have used:

Awards/Upgrades
Method: Awards/StarAlliance
From: AUS
To: HKG
Date: April 15, 2014
Airlines: *A Star Alliance (All 31 Member Airlines)
POS: JP-ANA-SP1
Sort By: Connections
Seats: 1

Filter
Filter Results: Yes
Availability Required in Class(es): R

Power Search
Date: 16 Apr 2014
Range: 14 Days

I have not gotten any results. What am I doing wrong or overlooking? Is 'R' the correct class to be searching for?
A PM would be great, or direction to a particular post # in this forum as I am feel my question is probably a common one.

Thanks in advance!

You have selected an incorrect Method for the Class you are searching for -- please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#UA

I am also a new KVS user and am having the same bad luck as the most recent poster.

I am trying to get this to work and can't follow the directions. The only option I get for POS is ANA. I have tried restarting. I've never been prompted for my UA id/pw, only for the ANA id/pin.

I am on a MAC running Maverics with Crossover 12., as recommend. I can't get v9 to run under Maverics.

When I try ANA i get an error message from WINE/Crossover.

Please advise.

To follow up on this prior post, I have found that to properly run this search I needed to:

Change the METHOD to [Awards-Upgrades/UA] on the 'Awards/Upgrades tab'. I think it defaults to [Awards/StarAlliance] -- or that is what I had selected.

After doing this, and running a new search I was prompted to enter my UA credentials and then I was able to run the search and check the 'R' inventory.

KVS sent me my diamond credentials overnight, but I did not get the registration number in the email. That's pretty frustrating, but easy to fix.

You just need to submit a Registration Code request via the Registration Wizard:

Your original request was for the Mobile Companion access only.

Re-registration after PC change

I have recently rebuilt my PC, and I have requested a new registration code, but haven't had one after two attempts. Can you help?

It appears that something went wrong with your 1st request.

We have now rushed a Replacement Registration Code to you via e-mail -- please confirm that you have received it.

Thanks for sorting this out!

Was wondering if somebody could help me and tell me what the availability of upgrade seats on QR 570 (DOH-BLR) on December 15, 2013 is?

I'm having trouble setting up KVS on my mac.

Thanks so much.

Looking for an Economy to Business upgrade.

Cheers!

Crossover 13.0.1 appears to fix the error code 35758 issue...

AC fare: YOW to DXB - 2 questions

Two questions on this fare:

a) it is not clear to me whether there is or is not a fuel surcharge - one area under infant under 2 years old, not occupying a seat - no fuel surcharge.

But there is another area below this statement, stating that there is no fuel surcharge. A third area does state that there is a $450 fuel surcharge in both directions.

b) Free stopover cities are listed below - in the various hub cities. IST is not mentioned. In the routing rules section, it is mentioned that one can go via IST, and one can use TK on the itinerary (as long as it is not one of the flights crossing the Atlantic ocean). The question is whether when can stop over in IST (more than a 23h59min connection), for either no fee, or a minimal fee. Or for such a stopover, does one need to buy 2 tickets - one to IST, and a second one from IST to DXB.

I did see the fare rules on other Star Alliance carriers (I only wish to fly on such carriers, so I can get AQM (ie EQM/Status miles) with Aeroplan. For example, for the LX stopover rule (see immediately below) suggests that a stopover at IST is allowed for a nominal $100 fee. So does that mean if I get the ticket issued by AC, it too will allow or not allow a $100 stopover fee in the non-allowed hub sites, as per its fare rules?

In the routing rules section, it is mentioned that one can go via IST, and one can use TK on the itinerary (as long as it is not one of the flights crossing the Atlantic ocean). The question is whether when can stop over in IST (more than a 23h59min connection), for either no fee, or a minimal fee. Or for such a stopover, does one need to buy 2 tickets - one to IST, and a second one from IST to DXB.

I did see the fare rules on other Star Alliance carriers (I only wish to fly on such carriers, so I can get AQM (ie EQM/Status miles) with Aeroplan. For example, for the LX stopover rule (see immediately below) suggests that a stopover at IST is allowed for a nominal $100 fee. So does that mean if I get the ticket issued by AC, it too will allow or not allow a $100 stopover fee in the non-allowed hub sites, as per its fare rules?

You can only have a stopover in the listed cities on the AC Fare.
The LX Fare allows a stopover anywhere on the routing.

Thank you, for your response.

I thought of another question, regarding the fare rules for AC, LX, or other airlines.

Let say I buy a ticket issued by AC. That means that at least one of the 2 transatlantic flights have to be designated as an AC flight on AC metal or codeshared on the other Star Alliance partners mentioned (TK is not one of them), or does it have to be both transatlantic flights (one in each direction) have to be designated by an AC flight number (ie AC metal or AC codeshared).

In this scenario, I could fly either directly to LHR or FRA on AC (in at least one direction) from/to YOW, but not in the other direction, and not on any any additional AC flights when flying intra-European flights or Europe/IST to DXB flights. So the itinerary can legally, by what is mentioned in the fare and routing rules, just include one transatlantic AC flight for the whole itinerary?

Hi KVS,

Do you know if this is expected behaviour or not? I am trying to view the seat map for MH807 on 18/01/2014 but it is not available. It seems that this is failing on on cabins which are zero'd out (ie no availability).

I can view the seat map for MH 805 / 803 in J without any problems but for MH 807 / 705 in J without any luck.

The [Enhanced Seat Map] option requires positive Availability in the Cabin being requested.
