Is the Sabre TVN search down? I keep getting an error message saying that the tool can only look at things 330 days out....

What is your current system date?

I had the same issue.
I deleted the travelocity cookie, problem solved

Alaska Miles Partner Airlines
 

Hello,

Any tips on how to find partner airline rewards for miles that I have on Alaska?

I see the help file. It says:
[Sabre: GTC]
[Awards/SkyTeam]

If I go straight into Skyteam rewards (which technically Alaska is not) then I am supposed to assume that anything available for them is available for me via AS MP?

Same thing for BA? Just use Oneworld?

I must be missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You appear to be looking in the AS section, which is for awards on AS flights.

Instead, you need to refer to sections for the partner airlines you want to redeem on (e.g. BA/DL/AF/etc.): http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes

KVS,

Thanks for the post reply and the reg code this evening.

Just to confirm... what you are telling me to do is look in the "Supported Airlines and Award/Other Special Booking Classes" tables and find my partner for AS. Then look for the reward availability there (even though I belong to AS)?

If this is right, and I do it this way then whatever rewards the Airline offers to their own members would be available to me under the AS Mileage Plan? Probably the my mileage cost on AS would vary comparing to what say BA is quoting me in miles.(?).

Again, any help is appreciated. I don't mind combing the results and converting them to apply to AS. I just want a general idea of how to attack.

Thanks,

Charles

That is correct.

In most cases, this is not a significant factor. Furthermore, the majority of award availability, shown in the KVS Tool, is, in fact, "partner" availability.

You would need to refer to the AS award charts; BA quotes are irrelevant.

Good evening and hello
Using the DLM Awards/SkyTeam function I am getting the following error message no matter what city pairs I am requesting:
"Datasource Error - Session expired"
A search did not bring up any other issues with that.
I am using KVS from Germany, registration level is diamond.
Has anybody else ever dealt with that issue ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to click the large purple [Settings] button in the KVS Tool, select [Internet Options], [Privacy], [Advanced] and enable Cookies.
You may also need to disable any installed 3rd-party software that may be blocking them.

Allthough I love cookies (foodwise), I recently refused those from third parties on my computer. After changing that setting the tool works perfect again.
Thank you again for your help.

Sabre TVN search error is back - 330 days out

This problem is back
Deleting the travelocity cookies does not help

And the solution is still the same:

that's probably their internal error for that region.

So long as you realize that the setting you changed affects IE in general, not just the KVS tool. @:-)
