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.

Historical PNR data is not available online, but can be requested via a formal request to BA under the UK Data Protection Act (or similar legislation in other jurisdictions). The only 'Tool' required for that is your favourite word processor...

This has confirmed to be an issue with the [Awards/StarAlliance] engine and a work-around has been implemented in V5.8.0, which is now available for download.

Thanks for the altruistic advice!!
What about decoding the PNR, does the KVS Tool list some translations?

One of my biggest issues with SQ is booking a ticket where I know I'll be able to get a saver upgrade (or for the A380/77W - at least a standard upgrade). Would the KVS tool help me out here?

No, as that also requires the expertise of a real human being.

But KVS Tool is well-suited for finding solutions pro-actively during IRROPS, thus avoiding situations, where you need to request PNRs post-factum ;)

KVS and MM show diffrent avail
 
I was looking at ZRH-DXB Nov 2 with LX in F

KVS showed me 2 seats FS+ with Miles and More search
When I logged in with my MM Nr. and Pin on the website they only gave me economy.
I tried again at the exact same time and KVS gave me seats, MM not

This makes no sense, I attached a picture. I showed it to a friend, he also cant explain in

Just to reiterate, I'll looking at purchasing a ticket on say the AMS-SIN-SYD route but before I pay for it $$$ I want to make sure that they will give me a saver upgrade on this entire route.

Will the tool help me with that?
