OK, interesting -- so I see SABRE has a POS dropdown which is disabled. How can I enable this so that I can select the appropriate point of sale (I'm based out of a european airport)
Otherwise this makes kvstool availability rather useless outside for those of us originating outside US :( (as POS is typically the departure location)

Thanks

KVS Tool currently supports 2 POSs for Regular Availability (US & JP). POS US Availability is typically better than Availability for EUR-based POSs (particularly for European carriers), so it would be more beneficial to book using a US-based POS (and get a lower Fare) rather than trying to ascertain Availability for other POSs.

For Fares, you do have a choice of POSs worldwide: US, CA, UK, ES, AU, RU, MX.

Check awards on LH?
 

So, I have a Diamond membership, but no LH FF#...

Could a kind soul with LH access check two awards for me? Saturday/Sunday August 19/20-2012, SEA to CPH.

Thanks much in advance!!

You don't need a LH M&M membership -- please use the [Awards/StarAlliance] or [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method to check LH Award Availability:

Ahh, hadnt tried AC. Thanks!

I found on AF website, F class from CDG to SIN, HKG, ICN, TYO... for travel in 2012
Why KVS do not mention them on Sabre/DotRes ?
More generally, companies websites could have fares that are not mentionned in KVS?
Thanks

Any new status/plan to resolve. It has been down for over two weeks.

Unfortunately, the [GTC] engine remains unavailable.

In the meantime, the [Sabre: FS] Method & Mobile Companion continue to provide equivalent functionality.

Trying to see availability of an award flight for Sept 10/12. I'm using the ITA/AC-Star Alliance

Keep getting the same error saying I can't book a flight later than 2012-09-10 which IS the date I'm trying to see.

Same result for every date until I get back to Sept 3/12.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for reporting the issue with the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine, which has now been resolved.

Please download V6.5.1.R3 and try again, noting that the maximum date range for that Method has been adjusted to 355 days.

I just recently signed up for the KVS Tool, and had some questions about interpreting the fares it shows. I was doing a search for KLM flights from JFK to DEL on 2/25/12 and returning 3/17/12. When the results popped up it shows the cheapest ticket is a base fare of 601 USD for N class. I realize there will be taxes on top, but what is the best strategy now to actually find this fare and book it?

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

Have you checked Availability?

What's happened to the sequence in which BA's fare buckets appear? They used to be listed in descending order but now they're jumbled up. For instance J is now being listed after G-bucket and before the world traveller plus fares.

[KVS Availability Tool 6.3.0.R2/Diamond - Sabre: Availability/FS/US-LTR]

It's a peculiarity of the [Sabre: FS] engine. If you are unsure about the Booking Class hierarchy, please use the Fares function:
