Hello, Amadeus operational info does not seem to work.

Error "The site is temporarily unavailable" has been showing for the past few days. Any ideas?

I just have to say, I just joined, and KVS has shown the absolute best hospitality and customer service to me as Im sure to everyone else. Thank you so much for providing this service to us. I look forward to using KVS to gather SkyTeam award data now that we're losing nwa.com! Im sure more questions will follow, but I will do my best to search this thread before reposting. Thanks again KVS!!^^^

:D :D :D

The KVS SkyTeam reward engine IS nwa.com. No word yet on which other websites the tool will use to generate results once nwa.com goes away, but relying on KVS in place of nwa.com isn't really all that useful right now.

Knowing is half the battle. Go Joe!

This a temporary Amadeus Operational Info outage. As mentioned at www.KVSTool.com, a new version will be released shortly...

It is, likewise, nice to have you 'on-board'! Don't forget to browse through http://Help.KVSTool.com

I hope that is not the case as that is the whole reason I joined KVS. From the FT threads, I gathered that KVS would still have access to SkyTeam award availability...if KVS is simply using public web sites, then what is the point? The PNR access function is not as helpful as I thought either as it simply points me to the same PNR on a public web site (either the airline site or virtuallythere, etc)...KVS can you please confirm whether SkyTeam award availability will be basically lost by tomorrow morning when nwa.com gets shut down?

As per http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes, SkyTeam award availability comes from a number of different sources, depending on the specific carrier. Some carriers will not be affected at all (e.g. AF/SU/OK), NW will no longer exist, DL/KL will be switched to a different data source, for which arrangements are currently being finalized...

Thank you so much for clarifying this...you are an INVALUABLE source to FT and your KVS customers. What happens to KQ and KL availability? Or are those still in the works? So are you saying that tomorrow we will only have limited AF access (it's limited anyway since half the time, their flights dont even show on any tool)? Will DL/KL be available starting tomorrow? Hope that KQ will have a replacement very soon!! That's the one Im really hoping to explore over the coming week. Thanks again for being a prime example of customer service, KVS!!!!!

Good question...

Skyteam -> NWA.com (will probably be switched to Delta.com or another Skyteam member airline website)
Star Alliance -> ANA.co.jp (which is why you need an ANA FF# to use it)
Oneworld -> qantas.com (which is why you need a Qantas FF# to use it)
CX Awards -> cathaypacific.com
X1 (United Airlines) Awards -> United.com (until they changed things around yesterday)


etc.

Full award availability has just been confirmed for both AF and KQ.
KL will be switched to a new source.
DL award availability will be expanded to include all 3 tiers (Low/Medium/High).

When will this start? Im unable to find KQ award availability on KVS at the moment.

KQ award availability is already available -- pls refer to the updated chart at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes

KVS,

As a fallout of nwa.com going out, I presume there's some issues with Skyteam searches. Which ones are currently impacted? I'm trying to find award avail on KE/Korean and there's not much luck there. I don't believe KE shows award avail on the Availability tab, only the award tab. Am I missing something? Or is there a replacement?

Thanks.

For KE, only First award availability is accessible at the moment -- please refer to the updated chart at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes for details.
