LOL, ok, I do see the CS+ that you found:


[KVS Availability Tool 6.1.2/Diamond - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA-SP1]

PHL Philadelphia Metro / Philadelphia Intl PA US = PHL TTN [KPHL]
MAN Manchester Intl UK [EGCC]
TUE 05 Apr 2011 | 1 Seat

Carrier Flight From Depart To Arrive A/C St Availability
--------- ------ ---- -------- ---- -------- --- -- -------------
US 734 PHL 20:40 MAN 08:40 +1 333 0 FS/ CS+ YS+

I have looked at a bunch more flights and still have not seen any other CS+ offerings from US Airways. How did you find that???

Also I read you FAQ Q&A #48 on associated fares and classes. Is there a way to find a fare for a CS+ then? Use your example, if you would.
Thanks so much, I am getting the hang of it...

Try a less popular route during off-peak times :).

Q48 deals with regular Fares and Booking Classes. Award/Upgrade Booking Classes (like CS) are not associated with Fares.

You're welcome!

Problem w/ Skyteam via Amadeus: Awards/Skyteam
 

KVS,

Haven't needed to use the program but today I do, and I get this:
Dataource Error [I]:
Our reservation tool is currently unavailable. We are doing our best to restore the functionality as soon as possible."

Trying to look for award availability on Skyteam; besides the near non-existant Standard award under Delta's Skypeso program.

Can you clarify what the issue is? It's frustrating not being able to use it for the sole purpose I got it for.

Thanks.

That error message indicates that the FB website in currently down (e.g. for maintenance).

To check Award Availability on DL/AF/KL/SU/OK/RO/UX/VN/CZ in the meantime, please use one of the other Methods, as outlined at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#AwardUpgradeClasses_SkyTeam

Any way we could get an option to set the desired trip length for an ITA search? Right now it defaults to a 6-8 night stay but I'd like to be able to default to 0 nights to search for same day turn MR's. I know I can hit modify search to change the parameters, but one less step is always nice.

Oh, and while we're at it, could we have it set the start date of the month long ITA search per the date set in the search criteria instead of the current date?

Thanks

Both of these features will be implemented in the next version.

^ Excellent! Thanks you.

Does any version of the KVS tool support enhanced award availability for DL PM?

when searching on star alliance for award avail on routes that have lots of flights i only see 20... there's no time value to set so i'm unable to get to the flights that are later in the day. how can i check avail???

Unfortunately, it is a limitation of the [Awards/StarAlliance] engine itself. However, depending on the carrier(s) involved, you may be able to use one of the other Methods on routes like these (which are relatively rare): http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes

The Beta for this has just been announced:

Any thoughts as to why the wrong times and seating are being pulled up for flight AA 1203?
