In the mean time the ExpertFlyer seat maps are an option, they still work (just checked the AA 25 flight)

Hello, I thought I should ask this question before I decide to buy.

Is it possible to check rewards miles availability on other airlines within the same alliance?


For example, I have a bunch of BA miles but have found that a limited number of seats are available on AA for those booking with BA miles.

Is it possible to check BA availability on AA flights? Or on other One world partners?

They are keeping delta.com and the rewards engine associated with it. Since the KVS tool is displaying the inventory that is rendered through the nwa.com engine there is an expectation of disruption at a minimum in that search capability.
The main OneWorld reward inventory is the information available at qantas.com. There is a bit of info in the help pages that describe exactly what carriers' inventory is searchable if you need more details.

Welcome to FT!

Absolutely -- please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes for details.

What you have probably found is that BA.com is not very good for finding OneWorld award availability. If you see AA award availability via KVS Tool, you will be able to book those seats by calling BA (even if they are not shown on BA.com).

Are you certain of this?

In the past I've looked up flights with award seat availability on AA.com and noticed availability, when I've called in to ask about it I was told that yes, there is availability for people with AA points, all those seats were not available for BA point members and that BA's allotment was in fact all used up for that particular flight.

Since the tool uses the award search tool on the Qantas website (you have to sign up for a Qantas FF account to use that part of KVS) you should probably just go to Qantas.com and use the award search tool there directly to make sure that BA availability on AA flights from QF's point of view is actually valid for you.

Actually, (s)he probably shouldn't, for a number of a reasons, including the fact that KVS Tool provides access to more OneWorld city pairs than Qantas.com itself.

Thanks KVS!

FYI
Today Amadeus is Displaying Full AA seat maps,
at least the flights that I was looking at and many
rows displayed were occupied

Hi! does anyone else have problems with Amadeus operational info? Wanted to do something with a LH flight number and got answer, "Error retrieving Amadeus operational info.The site is temporarily unavailable."
