FlyerTalk Forums - KVS Availability Tool

It didn't work with Fares/TVN.
It didn't work with Fares/DotRes.
And it didn't work with Fares/PSH

Ive been searching for October 8 and return October 9.
There is Icelandair fare for 167 and US fare for 204. I can see everything except ITA page.

The ITA search works just fine for this Fare with the [Check seat availability] option unchecked.

After the "No Trips Found" message appears, click [Perform Another Search] (in the ITA browser window) -> [More Options] and un-select the [Check seat availability] option.

Couple of questions

1) Any way to check Etihad (EY) award availability with KVS?

2) Any way to check JL available using the JL method (seems to only support Qantas and CX)?

At the moment, EY Upgrades are supported, but not EY Awards.

JL Award Availability is supported via the [Awards/BA-OneWorld] Method.

Generally speaking you'll get the most accurate results by using the search tool of the program from which you are redeeming points. If you are redeeming partner points then most of the time it is all the same for all partners but not always. If you see it available give a call and try. Worst they can say is no.

CX is notorious for its system issues when it comes to Award Availability. While CX Award Availability is supported via 4 different engines in the KVS Tool, the data from the recently introduced [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method is the most authoritative and will match the current Availability that BA/AA and other OneWorld partner agents are seeing.

Assuming you are interested in those 2 F Award Seats, you should call BAEC to redeem ASAP.

Yes, indeed. The offer is still on the web, but the demo username and password do not work anymore...

Well, the "demo" account is working again. So expect announcement from KVS, that "Sabre: GTC" has been restored, soon :D

Would love to see EY awards added. Their web site is very clunky to navigate back and forth to try our availability
