Thanks KVS. That did the trick....man this is fun!!

Upgrade Availability- KVS says YES, US says NO

Good F availability on our flights to MCO next week, Apr 18th from BUF:
BUF-CLT 1123-F-8 and CLT-MCO 1729-F7
Got an email from US saying no availability. In KVS is's showing FS+ for the BUF seg and FS- for CLT. Why didn't we get the first leg? Their email lists them separately, and we've gotten split u/g's before. Any ideas?

Yep. Chairman's line says it will probably happen eventually. I was asking because I didn't think the FS+ showed up on KVS unless US Air had released the seats for upgrade. Guess your source is getting the info before it's actually released to the system.

The seat is likely available but US IT systems haven't swept for it so you haven't been auto-upgraded. Or something else about your record is out of sync.

CO720 is supposedly zeroed out tomorrow, but CO will sell me an "M", "B", or "Z" seat depending upon how I search.

Doesn't look like it's zeroed-out anymore:

I am now not seeing IT (Kingfisher) Z-class availability on your Sabre systems.

Note that a TA is reporting to me that he can see it in his Sabre systems.

My bad - was using Apollo instead of Sabre, due to close-in flights I needed to take - why does KVS/Sabre limit us for these types of searches?

Any way around this?

Yes -- please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Methods

I've been getting a Host Error SERVER I/O ERROR on MPM searches for the better part of three days. It happens on two of the computers where I have KVS installed, so I don't think it's a local issue (but could be wrong).

Anybody else having the same problem? Anybody have working MPM?

Thanks!

It's a mainframe issue -- please keep re-trying and it should come back up eventually...

What reservation system does CZ and CX use that only use five digits?
