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 |
KVS, thanks for pointing me to the MPM feature. I'm still not sure I'm reading the output quite right.
Example routing: CCU-BOM-LHR-MAD-DUB-ORD-AUS Result: [KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R2/Diamond - Reference: Maximum Permitted Mileage [MPM]: CCU-BOM-LHR-MAD-DUB-ORD-AUS/AA] Code:
Question: I am concluding that the MPM from CCU to AUS is 12319 miles, and since my CUM miles are 11830, no surcharge is due. Is that correct? Should I worry about the DUB line that shows CUM exceeding MPM by 5%. For the routing to be valid without surcharge, do only the origin and destination matter, or are the intermediate CUM and MPM important too? Thanks! |
Can't See Award Routing
Hi. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I'm searching for award availability from YYZ to SCL using the SNT method, and I'm getting a "No Results/Route too Complex" message. I can search routes to other cities and get results, even if there is no availability, and I can find this route on the general availability tab.

How many connections does it take to get from YYZ to SCL? The SNT method (based off of NH's award search) can't do too many connections. I think it maxes out at 2 connections, but it might be as low as 1. You can search going segment by segment if you know the connection cities you want.

Welcome to FT, danananan! The ANA tool (SNT Method) is good put its not that great for routes with lots of connections. For whatever reason it doesn't pick up the direct AC flight and all other ways for that routes are 3 segments which the ANA tool can't do. Just use the AC tool (ITA) and you will see available seats for that routing.
Welcome to FT & KVS Tool, danananan! The automatic route construction capabilities of the [SNT Awards/StarAlliance] Method in the KVS Tool are limited to 1 connection (2 flight segments). The [ITA: Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method can automatically build up to 3 connections (4 flight segments). Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Methods for details. What day of the week did you try to check? The YYZ-SCL flight does not operate on Mondays and all other *A options would require > 1 connection: [KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R2/Diamond - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA-SP1] Code:

I can reproduce the problem. 29 November 2011 for example. ANA thinks its all too hard while AC finds the non-stop flight.

Is KVS down?
I am trying to check Fares on the Sabre: Fares/TVN Method and all I get is a pop-up box with:
The current method is currently unavailable. If the reason(s) for the above message are unclear, please visit www.KVStool.com to review the latest system status announcements. ???? I was seaching for Fares IAH-BOS on All Airlines... |

Thanks so much for the help. I was able to find the YYZ-SCL flight for Tuesday, 2 Nov by selecting the +1 day option. I'm actually trying to track it to see if they release additional business class seats because as of now, I have an award seat in coach for 10 hours <shudder>.
If I'm trying to plan more complex routes, I'd need to upgrade to Diamond tier to use the ITA method? |
