Where does the KVS tool get its data and is KVS authorized to provide this data in the manner it is presented?

The tool is known to access a variety of web sites, many in a manner that is not authorized. Please see the next section of this Wiki for a list of sites believed to be accessed and their data access policies (where known).

Additionally, under some conditions the tool appears to access sites via a KVS-operated back end. This means that the tool is not just a 'web browser' that runs via a user's machine. No detailed public information is available about how this works or whether any of this back-end access is authorized.

For Regular Availability across all Booking Classes on AA flights, please use the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.

Unfortunately, the U inventory is not viewable via the "Etour" or any other method. For example, the MH Enrich website shows Business award availability on MH95:



However the etour website doesn't return any flights when asked for U inventory:

I'm planing a RTW trip with miles in april 2012, will KVS help me? how will it help me, I try searching and everybody talks wonders about KVS but nobody gives a simple explanation on the benefits....... do travel agencies use this ?

how will it help on a MR......
KVS Tool is comprehensive suite of Tools, so it is rather difficult to provide a "simple" explanation.

Specifically for planning a redemption RTW itinerary on OneWorld, the KVS Tool supports Award Availability on all 16 OneWorld carriers (vs. 1 on AA.com): http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes

For MR planning, please see http://www.KVSTool.com/Planning-A-Trip.php

Additional usage examples can be found at http://www.KVSTool.com/Usage-Examples.php

While I'm less familiar with what KVS provides, EF provides award space searching capabilities for a good number of airlines.
KVS Tool has, by far, the widest range of supported airlines for Award Availability. FT member Lux had recently put together a set of comparison charts, which can be found in the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...l#post16826799 Thread.

'View Routing Rules' Not Working?

Happy New Year all - and many thanks to the KVS Tool for making my travelling life in 2011 easier...

Is it just me, or is the 'View Routing Rules' feature not working currently? I've tried various routes and airlines, but consistently get a 12002/35761 'Request Timed Out' error. I've done the Internet Connection Test as advised at errors.kvstool.com, and my internet connection seems to be fine. Is this somehow linked to the unavailability of the [Fares/TVN] method? (I've been looking up fares successfully with [Fares/Dotres]).

Thanks in advance!

I've had the same problem when I tried to use the function last week and just now. Application runs for about 30 seconds and then says "disconnected" at the bottom and then application eventually just times out. All other KVS features working just fine.

The Routing Rules engine is temporarily unavailable, due to system maintenance & the error message has been updated accordingly. This is not related to the [Fares/TVN] Method.

Hi and happy new year to all of you.

I am posting for the first time on this trhead (probably not the last one ) as I just registered on KVS in the platinum version.

It looks like this version would allow you to check award availability on OW.

But I get this message: The selected feature requires a Diamond-tier memberhip.

Help is needed

codes not showing in "Fares"

Hello,

UA SFO-IAD Jan 15 flight 355 is showing availability in T, L, K, G. But these codes do not show up in the "Fares" search, if I am reading it correctly. Why not? Thank you!

Welcome to the KVS Tool, geilux & Happy New Year to you too!

As mentioned in the link that jasonvr had provided, Award availability for all OneWorld carriers, except JL & S7, is accessible at the Platinum level via the [Awards/OneWorld] Method.

Please see http://Levels.KVSTool.com/ for details.
