Thanks KVS...neat tool btw :)

KVS Now Showing DL X/Z & V/G classes ???
 

[KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R1/Diamond - Sabre: Availability/FS/US]

Can this be added?
 

I am DL DM and my wife is GM. When traveling on points sometimes we have to split the reservations as only 1 seat is available in low. I have about 8 reservations that I check regularly but about 3 I need to check GM availability rather than DM even though they are all booked on my points. Can you put in an option for each reservation to log in with different FF#/Name and pin rather than a global login.

Thanks

kvs searching fare
 

Hi guys,

sorry if the question is stupid but i'm trying the software and i'm wondering if i'm using it in the right way.

i'm looking for fare with one world carrier for a flight MXP-SYD around january next year.

i put in this information

[KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R2/Platinum - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/ES]
why no cathay flight is shown??
if i search only for cathay i can find only a fare of 9330 EUR but on their site i found a fare of EUR 3.102,92 same date.

[KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R2/Platinum - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/ES]

am i doing something wrong?

Thanks again for your help,

Bye

Bob

It is likely that DL only has one 'set' of Elite Award Availability that applies across all Elite tiers, so there should be no difference regardless of which account you use.

No problem :)

It's a 'quirk' of the [Fares/DotRes] Method -- it does not always show Fares on carriers that are not the 'obvious choices' for a route, unless an Airline Code is explicitly specified.

CX must be using private/unpublished Fares on their site (or a combination of 2 or more Fares).

Sorry not true given what DL told me. I used the KVS and found a single low award and tried to give it to here. They told me that the availability was available for DM only not PM or GM.

Here is an update logged in as me:

I called Delta and they told me the same thing

In that case, one solution would be to use different DL SM credentials on each of your 2 machines, where you have the KVS Tool installed.

I only have 1 computer with KVS installed (I have a second installation but that is for a computer we only use on vacation and is at home while I am on business travel) hence why I asked for the feature change.

How do you get login details for the mobile KVS tool, having registered and paid? There's a checkbox for "I only want access to the mobile tool" but not for "I want mobile access and PC access".

Mobile login info should be in the email you received with your Diamond registration details (mobile companion is only with Diamond). It is under the heading [KVS Tool Mobile Companion Access]

At least that is how it was for me

Does I class ever open up in AC? :mad: I have been looking for weeks for CS+ on KVS for AC flights to and from Europe. Nada. Even AC flights that depart two days from now and that have 50% of the J class seats unoccupied still show no I class availability. Is the "Buy a Latitude fare and upgrade using Star Alliance" just blowing smoke as far as AC is concerned? Has anyone had success with this?

Yes, but very very rarely.

They don't even open up R class for god's sake!

Yes, you are right. The is no reason of buying Latitude fare with the hope of upgrading with points.

This is an interesting "bias" against non-Aeroplan members. If I were an Aeroplan member with 6 AC eupgrades I could upgrade my whole September itinerary LHR-YOW-YYZ-DEN right now, as I have a Latitude fare and KVS is showing that R space is available on each leg. I wouldn't even need to be an elite member at the moment with AC; I would only need to have 6 eupgrades in the bank. But as a *A member, I am not allowed to upgrade using the stated 25,000 miles. Heck, I could be a UA GS or 1K, and it wouldn't help to make the award available. So the bottom line is that while Air Canada has joined into the *A upgrade network, it is still heavily protecting upgrades for its Aeroplan members against invaders from other programs.
