The [Fares/TVN] Engine no longer exists and will be replaced by a new Method in the upcoming KVS Tool release.

Just joined, looks great so far. Of course the test will be when I try to book 5 award seats later this year.;) Am spending my time playing around with the options so when I hit 330 days I can give AA a call.

Welcome to the KVS Tool & good luck with your award search!

The entire rest of the program works great, only that one feature gives me errors. Any thoughts?

The [ITA Query Builder] feature is currently unavailable, as the ITA Matrix1 engine has, sadly, been decommissioned earlier on this month:

We are looking into alternative solutions and an update will be posted on the KVS Tool Homepage when it becomes available.

The new [ITA Query Builder] for ITA Matrix 2 is now available in KVS Tool V6.9.0.

Well, that's what I have been doing, too, but it seems kind of silly to me to basically run a different operating system just for one program - I don't need Windows for anything else than the KVS Tool.

There are solutions available that do not require a separate OS -- the KVS Tool simply appears just like any other App right on the Mac desktop:

Hello again,

Fare search UA Feb 8 o/w eco. Under both codes SATG7GS and WAT7GS when I attempt to view routing rules I get "No Fare In System". With both Sabre and Galileo. Any resolution to this? Thanks much again.

I've been getting the same message when I tried to view routing rules. I wanted to find out routing rules with the AC fare, KLXCSTF. If anyone can help, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

CX Award Availability is accessible via 4 different Methods in the KVS Tool, including [Awards/JL-OneWorld]. Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#AwardUpgradeClasses_OneWorld for details.

looking at CX889 for April 6th, and when i bring up the seat map for cattle rows are missing, extra isles are added. I assume this is a problem with the system that KVS is pulling the data from?

Is this a normal issues? How long does it normally take them to resolve?
Or does this mean they are changing something like the plane type?

Thanks for your feedback.

The Enhanced Seat Map shows the correct layout for 744. Rows 39-43 do not exist on that A/C type.

The flight you mentioned is for the 7th and looks good. I am looking at the 6th for CX 889 YVR-HKG

Looks like CX hasn't yet fully updated some systems with its latest 777 config (77H):
