Any idea why this might be?

FWIW, I also saw the incomplete seatmap issue recently on a Qantas international flight in the economy section.

It is a limitation of the [Enhanced Seat Map] Engine -- to see the Map for the entire Cabin, please use the [Amadeus Seat Map] option instead.

Just updated to 6.9.5 and currently trying to get seat map for CX889 Mar 31 (YVR-HKG) but it's coming up 'Seat map unavailable or unsupported for this Flight, Cabin or Carrier...' on both Amadeus Text and Amadeus Enhanced options.

Any ideas?

CX is currently experiencing system issues with the Seat Maps, which may be related to their upcoming switch-over to Amadeus. This affects the availability of its Seat Maps via the KVS Tool and seat selection via the CX.com website.

I would like to give a big ^ to the KVS team.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a subscription in order to prepare for a redemption of 600K AA miles.

Thanks to the tool I was able to book 6 outbound J CX seats from CLT-DFW-LAX-KUL. This morning I was able to snag the return flight, from BKK-HKG-JFK, 5 seats in F, 1 in J. I'll be on the outlook for another F seat opening up so I can get my other daughter into F as well.

I know a lot of peole say they can search airline sites and find redemptions, but I think this tool made the search very easy, especially when I had multiple sessions open while cobbling this all together.

Anyone else getting Datasource Error: "(Engine Temporarily Unavailable)" error? I'm doing a Galileo: Availability / ETR search for AC flights YVR-YYZ on Feb 14. Seems no query works. I've upgraded to 6.9.5

If the issue persists, please provide a screenshot via the Contact Form.

The [Awards/M&M] Method continues to function normally, e.g.:

[/CODE]

I provided the screenshot via the support link. I checked and double checked my cookies setting, deleted cookies, changed credentials, re-installed, updated Windows and MSIE, ...

Still error data source error RD-3. Any hint with which settings I might play around?

Hey KVS, any chance of adding +-7 days search function on awards?

This is the only thing that I find better in your competitors.

Everything works fine now, thank you for your speedy response! ^^^
Helped me last night to get my information together before the milesandmore-platform shuts down for a week.

What would I do without KVS!? :D

If we were doing a wishlist, then I'd add automated search with an email notification ;)

Hi, I'm very interested in using the tool but before place a financial commitment I'd like to try it first (diamond) even if its for a day or two to see if it attends my demands. Is this tool also providing alerts when a given seat/fare becomes available? thanks
