KVS shows Error message 106 for award ATL-NRT, NRT-SIN or ATL-SIN and KVS shows no award flight found for SIN-NRT, NRT-ATL . Can you help me? (platinum user)

Thank you in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
ATL-NRT and NRT-SIN seem to work just fine. There appears to be an issue with the engine on ATL-SIN.

On the return, SIN-NRT is fine as well (but you will need to check more dates to find availability), and NRT-ATL has availability on 05 Oct:

Is there a problem on Starnet using the ANA search or is there another issue? It's really frustrating not seeing any availability. Thanks in advance.
There are no issues in this case, just no availability.

I am trying to check availability of SQ1 on June 26. So I punched in SFO, HKG, SQ and date and use WSpan:ITN method. All I can get is:

[KVS Availability Tool 3.4.1/Platinum - WSpan: ITN/US-TAP]
Code:
SFO  San Francisco Int'l CA US [KSFO]
HKG  Hong Kong Int'l HK [VHHH]

 -> SQ    860    SIN  08:30 +2  HKG  12:15 +2  773  0    F4 P0 A4 Z0 C4 J4 D4 S0 Y0 B0 E0 M0 H0 W0 Q0 N0 V0 T0 L0 K0
Why is it that the non-stop flight SQ1 is not displayed? I know the flight is there because I can see it with EF.

Edit: I found it only if I type in 0:00 in the Time field. When I use (Any) in the Time field, I can't get the result I want.:confused:

Hey KVS

Just wondering if there was a reason why I couldn't find some flights when checking for availability? In particular I cannot get KVS to give me an avilability for the TG direct flight BKK-OSL fon any date, using any availability method.

Also, does the Star Alliance availaibility award search not support LON/FRA as departure and destination airports. I always get an error message when searching using these cities. I assume its a problem with the ANA website?

Cheers,
AB

---- Edited -- I just discovered that with V5 I can find the availablity with Sabre. Thanks..

Thanks for your feedback. That's very interesting as in the past I have looked at SQ's F availability on a daily basis within 5 days of travel and "ALWAYS" that have released F award seats and I have seen them appear on KVS. Now let alone not getting availability on dates further out, I can't even see F seats open up on flights that are even for the next day!!!!!

Following is an example LAX-SIN for tomorrow Tue, June 16th - there are 10 F seats unassigned which most likely means these are all unsold being a day before the flight. F redemption shows F- :td: Either they have started to lock showing availability or there maybe a problem on the ANA engine.

At this point I cannot see even 1 x F seat available for any month/day for the balance of the year and next year. :td:

cheers.

The former. Presumably they acted long before necessary in advance of the route going 77W.

Problem with "Awards-Upgrades/UA"
 
KVS,

Please ignore this post. "Awards-Upgrades/UA" is working now for me.

Murphy's Law strikes (as soon as I post the problem ... it started to work).

Thanks,

Hooked-on-miles


****************************
KVS,

I have been able to access UA upgrade information reliably until about 24 hours ago.

Now I am getting a "Time-Out Requesting Data" error when trying to use this option.

Please help and look into this.

I am using version 5.0.

Thanks,

Hooked-on-Miles

I received 2 complementary CR-1s from UA and would like to use them for an upcoming flight. When I try to use the Awards-Upgrades/UA feature in KVS I get the error "incorrect MP Profile Settings -- Set to Expert"

How do I fix this? I skimmed the FAQ and didnt see this one.

thanks!

In your UA profile on united.com you need to specify expert mode for searches.
