Indeed.

Yes, this can be arranged on a case-by-case basis, if requested within a reasonable time after the initial sign-up.

What does "SUP" mean in the Minimum Connection Time information?

Presumably, it means "Sup[pressed]" ...

AAExPlat: Please provide a screenshot (via e-mail).

I think I figured out what the problem was. I got it to work now with the newest update...I have been replacing the old shortcut with the new one in a different folder, and I wonder if the shortcut kept pointing to an old version or something along those lines...either way, now that I deleted the old shortcut and kept the new one in its default location, the search works perfectly.

Sorry for the confusion.

The FlightStats tool is a nice one. Thanks for sharing and welcome to FlyerTalk!

Thanks, glad to be here!

Ah, see I thought ual744777sta meant the FS in the new "Sabre: Availability/FS" method since that was talked about just prior. If so, FlightStats.com would make sense as they have an availability search that has the same data/restrictions.

I asked what FS meant in "Sabre: Availablility/FS". Not FSaver.

Probably the correct observation here, as old shortcuts do that.

  • To avoid potential problems for users, who are on locked-down/corporate machines and require administrative privileges to run setup.
  • To minimize conflicts with personal firewall/anti-virus software.
  • To ensure that members don't miss any important announcements in the News section on the homepage.

One small thing that would be nice for the fairly frequent updates would be for the installer to save the settings I use (for the shortcuts and system files) and then default to those same settings the next time I do an update.

I just don't install shortcuts with the updates, my old ones continue to work just fine. :confused:

Access to the [Fares/PSH] Method has now been restored.
Please re-start the KVS Tool and try again.

I've been trying to do ITA searches from KVS via the right click option. So far, ten different fares all return the "No Trips Found" message from ITA.. Any ideas? Is this KVS & ITA not talking to each other properly?

thanks

If you are getting that error message, then there are likely no trips, for which the selected Fares apply (or, possibly, an issue on the ITA's end).

What are the city pairs/dates/Fare(s) in question?
