Fares/TVN method seems to only be showing fares without an advance purchase requirement.

Thanks. That worked for a little bit but now there's another error message. Please advise.

What routes are you searching and what is the error message?

This appears to be a UA-specific issue -- please use the [Fares/PSH] Method in the meantime:

New user....

How do you search for availability of upgrades/awards on a specific AA flight, without it dumping you into OneWorld partners?

I only want to check AA flights only.

Hello all,

Was hoping if you all could help me out real quick. Just bought a platinum subscription membership to KVS. When I try to search for something under the awards/upgrade tab it yields the following result "The selected feature is not availible in the Platinum-tier version of the Tool and requires a Diamond-tier membership".

Is this correct? I thought platinum had access to this tool as well. Or am I doing something wrong.

Blessings in the New Year!

Click on the Membership/Registration button and then choose Upgrade/Renew Membership
- what each membership level gives you will then be displayed

Which specific method are you trying to use? Examples are:
  • SNT: Awards/StarAlliance
  • ITA: Awards-Upgrades/UA
  • Amadeus: Awards:OneWorld

And what are you trying to search for (Airline, Award, Upgrade, etc)?

This page has a good breakdown of what methods are available for each membership level:

Is it safe?
 
When I try to DL the tool, my firewall prevents me from doing so, claiming it is a harmfull site. Is this true?

coregis Dec 19, 2011 3:26 pm

Nevermind- check your junk mail for registration codes!

To add content- No I do not believe this is a harmful tool. There are over 100 pages in this thread, that would be a very elaborate scheme to get at your family photos.

I had the same issue. Thought Platinum would be what I needed but had to upgrade to Diamond to get that to work for BA flights. Would be interested to hear the response from the KVS rep.

golfmad Dec 19, 2011 6:36 pm

Classes, any way to check for premium economy
 
Hi, I tend to buy premium economy on BA and then use miles/avios to upgrade to business. The availability search on the KVS tool has options for economy, business and first. Is there any way to search for premium economy fares?
