No, unfortunately. You can't even compete with them. Even if there was a seat in business class available after all of them were cleared, if I class doesn't open up, you still can't use your points to upgrade.:eek:

The option will be removed, as it has now been confirmed that it does not affect the search results.

I have version B4 of the Beta and whilst the other sections still work, since upgrading, every time I search using the KrisCom: Awards/SQ method, it freezes the program always about 5secs after clicking the search button. Standard Availability, Fares, etc still work.

Please try the troubleshooting steps at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Errors
under "KVS Tool hangs (freezes) intermittently when transferring data, particularly when using the [Amadeus: Awards/CX] Method".

As a longtime user I can't say enough how much I love KVS on a near daily basis.

Any thoughts on adding award availability from Continental's standpoint? Reason being it also shows Virgin Atlantic award availability, as well as some Star Alliance carriers.

What about adding functionality so that you can change dates in the Fares tab? In order to change dates while searching fares you have to change tabs to either Availability or Timetable tabs; this seems an unnecessary extra step.

Which [Fares] Method are you using?

Sabre: Fares/TVN

The date function is locked out when using this method in the Fares tab.

Another question, any difference on which method to use?

When I use the Mobile Companion tool, I got more results than the KVS application on my desktop? I set the same searching criteria for both. Am I doing something wrong? Are all the flights shown in my Mobile Companion page valid?
For example, I got the following flights. Are they really available for OneWorld awards for SAN-PEK?

[Sabre/TVN] shows all published Fares for the next 12 months, so the Date fields are not applicable.

If you would like to restrict your Fares search to specific dates, please use [Sabre/DotRes].

For further details, please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Methods.

For AA and other OneWorld Award Availability, you need to use [Awards/OneWorld] or [Awards/BA-OneWorld] Methods in the main KVS Tool application: http://Help.KVSTool.com/#AwardUpgradeClasses_OneWorld

deleted.

The existing *A award search engine was using ANA's award tool. The new method is using Air Canada's. Theoretically all the same inventory, but in practicality, usually isn't.

Can't price RTW fares?
 

I've been loading RTW fares these past few days but this morning I'm trying to load it up and I get the following error:

Datasource Error:

"Departure and arrival cities are the same"

I'm using Fares/DotRes and RTW and Location is US.

What are your Departure/Return dates?
