The results in your OP indicate that you have activated the [Elite] Mode -- is it showing YS or YE seats?

Are you also selecting the Elite option when you are trying to book on DL.com?

Yes when I tried booking and calling the DM line. It is gone now.

But I had to call DL for a flight delay and low and behold it is available. This is the 2nd time this has happened. It seems like KVS is about 4-8 hours ahead of what I can find availability.

HI All,

I've just purchased the Platinum version as it states on the website

OneWorld Award Availability

QF BA AA AY IB MA LA XL LP 4M

However when I try and do a search for BA award availability it tells me I need Diamond Level!!!!

Most likely using the wrong method.

This page has a good breakdown of what methods are available for each membership level:

The BA method is only for Diamond, however the Amadeus OneWorld method (which includes BA) is available to Platinum members

Well I wouldn't say that's very clear on this page.

When I try and do a one world search it asks for my Qantas Number, I don't have one and I don't want one.

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

Indeed, that is the case -- thanks for helping mdj1, jasonvr!

To see exactly which Methods are available at each membership level, please select the [Detailed View] option on that page.

Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Q7

But your page is misleading.

We are sorry you feel that way, however, the [Summary View] on the Membership Options page was created, based on the user feedback, and the information contained therein is accurate.

As jasonvr had already explained earlier on, BA Award Availability is fully accessible via the [Awards/OneWorld] Method at the Platinum level. It is also accessible via [Awards/BA-OneWorld] at the Diamond level.

You're welcome to upgrade to a higher level at anytime, however, it is certainly not required for BA Award Availability.

Sabre: Fares/DotRes doesn't seem to be pulling up results for business class searches.

[KVS Availability Tool 6.9.5/Diamond - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/US]
I have to imagine there are fares published between LAX and LHR on some carrier :)

Galileo does return results:

[KVS Availability Tool 6.9.5/Diamond - Galileo: Fares/PSH/RU]

As mentioned on the KVS Tool Homepage, the [Sabre: DotRes] Engine is currently experiencing intermittent issues, particularly with premium cabin Fares.

Please use [Galileo: PSH] and/or [ATP: FC] Methods in the meantime.

YOW-PHX - UA ticketed, but codeshared on AC
 

I will be going to a medical conference to be held in PHX in late April. It is funded by an US federal medical association, funded by NIH (ie funded by the US government). Although the association pays for the my travel expenses, one on the restrictions is that the airline ticket has to be designated that of an airline based in USA.

I want to fly on AC, if at all possible, over flying on any US based airline. The only way I can do this is by getting a US based airline (that probably means UA) designated ticket, codeshared on AC.



These flights are codeshared on AC. I want to fly on Fri April 27. No problems there - I can get UA 8289 and 8473.The problem is coming back. I could come back on Sun April 29 - by getting ticketed for UA 8474 and UA 8290. If I fly on Sunday, I miss at least couple of hours of the conference (the conference finishes shortly after noon).

However, I can not find these flights (for Mon April 30) on the UA web site, nor through the KVS tool. The question is what, if any, options do I have to fly on on a US designated ticket (but codeshared on AC) on Mon April 30?

From my perspective, I do not have to fly via the YYZ hub - I can fly via YVR, YYC, YEG, YUL, or YWG.

If necessary, I could fly on 3 flights, rather than 2 - and the first one can be on a relatively short haul UA flight to LA, SFO, or DEN. What I do not want is a longer-haul flight on UA metal, but on a AC flight.

PS-Is there any way that the KVS tool can be used to look specifically for codeshared fligths - let us say UA on AC - anywhere in the world?
PPS-I presume that US does not codeshare on AC?

Going from YOW to Australia in Dec - 2 types of questions
 

I want to go from YOW to Perth Australia for a vacation in Dec.

1. Using the KVS tool, I can not get fare routing rules on Air New Zealand - I could not get the routing rules for any departure point in Canada to any destination in New Zealand or Australia.

2. I may want to go on a Star Alliance RTW or Circle Pacific ticket between YOW and Perth Australia. How do I find out the fares, and fare rules and routing rules for both types of tickets?

Hi,

I'm trying to use the tool to look in to BA rewards.

I purchased teh platinum level as this should let me view the award status for BA, but when I try to look at the rewards it comes up with an error saying that the selected function is not available in the platinum teir and that I need to upgrade to diamond.

Can you offer any assistance?

Look back at the last 5 days of posts

Thanks for your help, but the posts don't help.

I'm pretty sure I've selected teh right details, please tell me if I haven't
