FlyerTalk Forums - KVS Availability Tool

I'm trying to do a *A awards search (ANA method) for FLL (Fort Lauderdale - KFLL) but the system is retrieving responses for LYS (Lyon - LFLL)!

Never run into this before.

Anyone else have similar problems?

Rest assured, the actual results displayed are, in fact, for the requested location (FLL) and not LYS.

Is *A searches via ANA broken? Everything I try to do a S* search with my ANA id/PIN, it errors out saying Data Source Error: ANA.

All KVS Tool Methods, including [Awards/StarAlliance], continue to function normally.

Are you running the KVS Tool on a Mac/Linux system?

It looks to me like the *A search is not showing any award seats for flights within 6 days, but works fine for anything at least 7 days out.

JohnDP

"FS" means first class. "YS" means economy. A "+" sign means reward seat is available in that class and "-" means it's not.

Because the application is accessing the flightstats.com website using your credentials. Apparently it uses some master credentials on the iPhone version.

A very general question:

Which version (Gold/Plat/Diamond) do I need to purchase to get the full Passenger Name Record of a 6 month past trip by the BA record locator?

Thanks!

As I said, the trip is over for about 6 months, no way to retrieve the PNR through the regular sources. Also, I need the *full* record, not just what CheckMyTrip shows, i.e. times and channels used to rebook, failure to endorse tickets by ticketing agent etc.

KVS can't give you access to that. I am not sure what can.

hi, I am very new to KVS, but splashed out on the Diamond membership for a year but to my astonishment, there is a series of simple questions that I cannot seem to find, at least not with ease, on the FAQ section of the site.

1. What does FS- or YS+ in the Award section mean?
2. Why do I need a Flightstats membership if I connect from the Windows App but I can enter with email and S-xxxxxx code on the iPhone App?

Thanks for anybody directing me in the right way!

thanks for your help, so what does the "/" in FS/ stand for? No First?

JohnDP: Welcome to the KVS Tool!

1. Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Method_SNT_Awards_StarAlliance

2. The Mobile Companion uses a different availability engine.

1K+: Thanks for helping a fellow member!
