Always the same pop up window "login" etc...

The update is available for download from http://www.KVSTool.com/

Hi! KVS is confusing VLC with VLN:

[KVS Availability Tool 6.0.8.R5/Diamond - Amadeus: Awards/SkyTeam/FR-AF]
Code:
GIG  Rio De Janeiro Intl RJ BR [SBGL]
VLC  Valencia ES [LEVC]
THU  28 Apr 2011 | 1 Seat

Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive        St  Availability
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  ------------
AF        443    GIG  16:20    CDG  08:00 +1          YS+
 -> AF    2430    CDG  10:05 +1  VLN  12:05 +1
AF        443    GIG  16:20    CDG  08:00 +1          YS+
 -> UX    1006    CDG  10:10 +1  VLN  12:10 +1
AF        443    GIG  16:20    CDG  08:00 +1          YS+
 -> AF    2330    CDG  19:35 +1  VLN  21:35 +1
AF        443    GIG  16:20    CDG  08:00 +1          YS+

It's a limitation of the [Awards/SkyTeam] engine, but a work-around will be implemented in the next version.

In the meantime, rest assured that the results displayed are for the requested Valencia.

I know. I was just reporting the minor glitch. I thought I was helping.

Wondering if you could work on an other option for a more reliable primary search tool, Sabre/GTC is always giving errors and won't display anything within 4 hours, and Sabre/FC is unreliable as hell, and at times only shows a maximum of 4s as oppose to 9s on major US carriers. I can understand if the other specialty tools are a bit clitchy at times but the the availabiility tool? come on that's the name of the program for god sakes.

If its not to much to ask, I was wondering if i could have a PM for the response.

Actually, it will -- as mentioned in the KVS Tool User Guide for the [GTC] Method:
"To check availability for a same-day departure, the [Time:] setting must be set at least 4 hours ahead of the current time (e.g. if the current time is 10:30, enter 15:00). Nevertheless, results will include all remaining flights, including those that are scheduled to depart within this 4-hour time window."

Could you please provide an example of this?

And yes, we are continually looking for additional sources.

Anyone else getting Data Source errors when checking availability on Galileo?

Yeah but what about the last 4 hours of the day, I've try setting for 02:00 the next day but that excludes anything on the current day, and I've tried changing time zones, but that doesn't work either. Like I said before, the specialty tools I don't mind glitching from time to time (in fact I think you do a very good job when that happens), but the primary availability tools I use and rely on very often, and i think other users would agree with me that its a huge inconvenience when it doesn't work the way it's suppose to.

I'll let you know the next time it happens

Unfortunately, it is a limitation of the GTC engine itself. But your concern is certainly valid and we will continue to look for a work-around.

In the meantime, please use one of other Availability Methods or the Mobile Companion in the situations described.

The [Galileo: ETR] Method continues to function normally.

Your report was very helpfull, indeed -- in fact, the issue has now been resolved and V6.0.9 is available for download.

Thanks, I was getting an error when I first posted however since then it's working fine.

Hi there,

I'm seeing some inconsistencies seeing CX award availability on the KVS tool, via the Amadeus: Awards/OneWorld Method (I'm a Diamond member) -

For example, searching 2 First awards from SFO to HKG on November 2, 2011: KVS returns nonstop availability on CX879 (12:50pm to 6:45pm + 1).

However, the BA website and AwardNexus are reporting that CX873 (1:05am to 6:45am + 1) has 2 First seats available too. Come to think of it, KVS hasn't shown me any availability on this CX873 flight even though I know some dates are available.

Do you know what's going on?

Thanks.
