Well, that fixed it. All this time I was using Feb 2012 to Dec 2012 .. I switched it to Feb 2012 to Apr 2012 and it seems to work. I guess the input has to be stricter now?

Either way, thanks! :D

Some of the main differences are:

• Automatic Route Construction: Up to 3 Connections (4 Segments) Vs. 1 Connection (2 Segments)
• Maximum Date Range: 355 Vs. 330 Days

Great Work
 

Just to let you know that I used the AC/StarAlliance award feature on 6.2.9921.B4 and it worked great. I was able to locate seats for upcoming trip and booked them already.

* Alliance Error Message
 

Hi, I'm very very new to the KVS tool (for Mac) and I generally use it without any problems for OW. However, when trying to search for *A award availability (using all 27 Airlines) I get the following error:

Data Source Error [I]

"ANA"

I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't figure out what it is...any help would be great.

Thanks.

*A Error message
 

try it again now
I was getting the same error a few hours ago - when searching for OW award availability
but all seems OK now
looks like it was some sort of transient error

As mentioned at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Mac, there is a bug in Wine/CrossOver for Mac, which affects the [Awards/StarAlliance] Method.

We are currently working with the relevant parties to help them fix it.

In the meantime, Wine/CrossOver for Mac users can utilize the new [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method, available as a Beta: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/star-...-alliance.html

Ooops...miseed that...thanks for the help.

I am trying to look at award availability (Awards/StarAlliance) DAY-> BKK.
*A Star Alliance (All 27 Member Airlines).

I am ending up with "No Results/Route Too Complex".

Searching through this thread, there was discussion about getting this message when there was no return service / limited scheduled day service, etc. , but I don't think any of this applies on this route.

I have used KVS to look for availability in the past for this route, and don't recall any problems like this.

Tried changing dates - same result
Tried limiting to just one airline - same result

Anyone have advice?

As mentioned at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Method_SNT_Awards_StarAlliance, the Automatic Route Construction capabilities of the [Awards/StarAlliance] Method are limited to 2 segments (and DAY-BKK requires at least 3).

Therefore, you either need to split your search into 2 'pieces', or use the new [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method, available as a Beta: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/star-...-alliance.html

Thanks. I will give it a shot tonight.

Are there any issues with availability due to married segments (...I think this is what it is called) ? I recall trying to search out upgrades by legs/segments, but the availability changed depending on the particular route/segment combinations. Not sure if awards work the same way.

Segment Marriage Logic does not, generally, apply to Award Availability.

Anybody with having issues with Sabre: Availability/GTC?

Searching ORD-DFW AA and UA and getting nothing back. It seems to go thru the search process, but no fights returned. Same thing for SFO-JFK.

Me too - nothing on any search for GTC searches currently

The [Sabre/GTC] Method issue has now been resolved -- please download V6.2.0.

The Availability/GTC issue from the mainline product is also affecting the beta with the AC award method.
