Using Sabre GTC if you select AA LAX-TPE on Jan 25th (other dates have the same issue). Look at AA 169 LAX-NRT at 11:50 am depart 16:40+1 arrival- Change to AA 5854 NRT-TPE (A JL codeshare)- Time dispalyed for depart is 00:45 with a 21:45 arrival. The real departure time is 18:45. It also displays the code share flight JL649 (if you start at LAX) with the same incorrect departure time. It will display the correct time if you just do NRT-TPE using the JL649 number.

Appolo and WSPAN will display the correct times but no flight info as AA is not supported.

Please upgrade to the latest version -- this bug has been resolved as of V5.1.6:

I started to get this error from the Sabre: Fares/TVN method yesterday sometime:
("Become a member!")

Is this a known issue?

KVS has been a great tool for me. At last I have access to fare designators again :D

But I have noticed something unusual this morning. I am trying to apply a 25,000 mile upgrade from my United balance so that I can upgrade Air China 984 from LAX to PEK at 00:40 on 25 December from economy (B) to business. Whenever I search for upgrade info using either SNT: Awards/StarAlliance or ITA: Awards-Upgrades/X1* the KVS tool only shows the United codeshare, and not the main Air China flight. Is there someway I can designate that I want to look at the actual carrier's availability, Air China 984?

Unfortunately the ANA tool on KVS does not support Air China.
If you use Sabre availability search on KVS and look of booking class I that will show you Business class avialability for upgrades/rewards.

You can also try using the Aeroplan site. There have been reports that you can search Air China on the Continental website.

trevmar Dec 21, 2009 9:07 am

Thanks, I see that 'I' availability is zero. I will watch it as the three day advance booking period closes this evening :)

Thanks also for the tip about Continental - I may use some of my Onepass miles instead, if CO are better organized than UA :)

Happy Holidays :)

Anyway to get data on "X" class or "R" for domestic for AC flights?

Sweet! Thanks very much.

I'm sorry for my stupidity.

I need to use Asiamiles on OW carriers (namely BA / AA). BA/AA buckets for their airlines is what Asiamiles would take award tickets out of, right?

As a result, a platinum membership would get me this information? Many thanks

Except that since the KVS tool shows OW award inventory from Qantas's point of view, which may or may not be diffrent then what award inventory BA or AA shows Asiamiles. Your going to have to contact Asiamiles directly as that is the only way to ensure OW partner awards from Asiamiles's POV are available.
