I know that "+" means availability...but is there a way to determine a quantity? Are the award seats the same as upgrades? (i.e. First?)

Correct. See also http://FAQ.KVSTool.com

Sabre and Gallileo show L0

(my real problem is that the OneWorld on-line booking tool shows L0, so I guess it uses either Sabre or Gallileo)

In this case, you should probably go with the Sabre/Galileo results, unless you can book your xONE via a TA, who uses a different GDS...

I get results such as:

FS+ CS- YS-

Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes (CS = O on US).

Fare Routing issues
 
Is anyone else having problems using the Fare Routing Rules option in the Fare Drop Down menu? I've used it fine for months, then all of a sudden last night, and for the 24 hrs since, when I use it the tool returns

"[Host Error]""

Thanks.

Thanks.

We are currently looking into this matter...

Thank you.

I've tried it on a few airlines, and also changed the Fare search from TVN to DotRes (wasn't sure if that would make an impact, it didn't), as well as different routes, and still get the same message. The "search (ITA) using this fare" works fine though.

Please let me know if there's anything additional you need (logs, etc). I find this to be an awesome service!

That part of the system is back to normal now.

Yep, seems to be working. thanks!

In an unrelated question, which may have been mentioned elsewhere and I missed it, is there a way to search by Alliance in KVS? For example, with Star Alliance, I notice the members show [*A] in the Airline Field, but when I search using "[*A]" or simply "*A" it doesn't work. Thanks again.

Not directly.

However, you can use the [*A] button in the [Filter] tab, or you can specify up to 3 airline codes in the [Airline(s):] field when searching (assuming that the route in question is not served by more than 3 *A members).

Has the issue with KQ availability not showing up for any date before mid-May been fixed? or is this something to do with what KQ is making available?

As discussed previously, KQ award availability (however non-existent it may be) is set solely by KQ itself:

You have to clear your IE cookies. You've apparently managed to trigger something on the travelocity.ca site so that they won't give you any more free searches until you do so. It happens from time to time.
