Something I have noticed in the past couple of days is that (for UA), all the "UP" fares that book into A now only only show up when searching for economy fares.

Is this something that KVS has done, or United (or someone else)? As far as I know, unlike other airlines, UA's "UP" fares have nothing to do with economy.

How good does this tool work for *A* awards? Any better than the ANA availability tool/

Much better and far easier to use as well.

Different interface, but the EXACT same content. ;)

You will see the same results. It is up to you if you feel that paying for the KVS tool beats logging in to the ANA website yourself.

Will KVS allow you to look at several days at a time?

Not in the same query, but you can use keyboard shortcuts to easily check availability across as many adjacent dates as you like.

As mentioned in the FAQ.KVSTool.com, deeply discounted premium fares (particularly those that a priced at less than full Y) may, occasionally, show-up in Economy fare searches.

The xUP fares were designed to confuse accountants; sometimes they confuse the reservation systems (and airline agents) too :).

How so?

Hi,

Is their a posibility to list all current flights from one carrier?

Or to list all flight departing from a certain location?


For example. I would love to list all current UA flights. But I would also love to see which flights are leaving SFO daily.

Probably not possible but hey, it was worth asking ;)

By 'masquerading' as economy fares :).

Welcome to FT!

It normally takes up to 24 hours (and it has only been 8 so far), but I will try to expedite your request shortly.

Hi,

I purchased KVS a few hours ago, but since it's a Saturday will I have to wait for Monday to receive my reg key?

Thanks.

Not at all -- the turn-around time for elite-level membership requests is within 24 hours, 7 days a week.
