Thanks!

Two newbie questions
 
Hi, I just downloaded and I'm excited to take this for a spin. Two questions:

I can search for fares domestically and for some less traveled international destinations using ATP, but most often it times out with international requests, after either [2W] or [3W] appears in the status bar. I'm thinking this is just a matter of extending the time-out timer, is there a way?

I'm trying the "My Bookings" tool with AA. Seems like none of the sources give me any interesting information. I know this is not exactly the top feature of the program, but I'm trying everything :) Hints?

Thanks

Sounds like you are doing everything correctly :).

How Long Does it take to Get a Registration Code?
 
Downloaded the KVS Tool last night, and made my contribution. Never received my temporary nor permanent registration code. Still waiting more than 24 hours later.:(

Temporary Registration Codes are issued instantly, but, as per your follow-up e-mail, you have originally entered an incorrect e-mail address, which prevented its delivery.

Please check your e-mail inbox for your Permanent Registration Credentials, which have now been issued as well.

Looking for AA p-class fares
 
Hi, I'm looking for P class (instant upgrade) fares using the Fares tab in 6.9.1. I can't seem to find any P class fares at all? Currently searching for TPA->IAH 30th April to 2nd May. They are on the AA site and they show up on KVS in availability but not in the fares section.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ah, right. Thanks. I was assuming it would start with the letter 'P'. I take it that the K-UP is the instant upgrade P fare?

UA economy plus seat map
 
Hi,
For UA seat map results, the rows that correspond to "economy plus" seats always show zero available seats (even when these seats show availability on the UA.com seat map). This is true no matter which KVS seat method I use (premium economy, economy, Amadeus-text, Amadeus-enhanced). Is there another way to see these seats in KVS? Thank you.

Unfortunately, UA does not provide status of Economy Plus-designated seats through the system, so they are not currently supported in the Seat Maps. However, this may change, once the UA-CO integration is complete.

Yes, it is.

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a membership for the KVS tool BUT there seems to be some misleading information.

On the over view page it is clearly stated that the Award Availability section list shows SkyTeam Award Availability (AF KL DL SU KEP MU) under Platinum, but when clicking the link it shows that it's only available for Diamond subscribers :confused:

Which is it?

Thanks
