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.

CX/KA reservation system is down this weekend(thus affecting KVS inquiries)...I got an email from them last week preparing me for this outage...states:

On 11 and 12 February, Cathay Pacific and Dragonair will upgrade their passenger reservation system to ensure they can continue meeting their passengers' needs in the future.

During the transition, it will be necessary for them to temporarily suspend some of their services, including their websites – www.cathaypacific.com and www.dragonair.com – which will go entirely offline worldwide at 3pm on 11 February, Hong Kong time (GMT+8). They will be brought back online in stages throughout the day on 12 February, and the majority of services on the site will be available by approximately 8pm that day.

What will happen during this period (3pm Hong Kong time, 11 February, to approximately 8pm Hong Kong time, 12 February)

•Reservations and ticketing services will not be available, so it will not be possible to make new bookings or change existing bookings, including redemption bookings or upgrades on
Cathay Pacific , Dragonair, and all other Asia Miles partner airlines.
•Online and mobile services will not be available, including online booking,online redemption, online ticket change, online check-in, printing eTickets, boarding passes, flight information, Advance Seat Reservation, special meal requests, and others.

How does one tell that all S fares use the same routing (or even specifically routing 947)?

I have a query regarding KVS if a regular user would be so kind....

I need to book a flight from LHR to SEA at some point during mid Sept, staying for around 16 days or so.
The dates are in no way fixed so I can work around a good flight price.

Ideally I'd like to buy a WT+ seat and upgrade to J using my Avios, but BA's site is currently showing no upgrade availability to SEA on any day.

Can KVS give me the information I need to make a booking at the best price possible given the date parameters?
I have no issue in paying for the software, but there's not much point if it can't do what I need.

Thanks in advance.
