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.

My Bookings question

I enter a UA PNR and click on the Retrieve/Display PNR button. It causes an IE tab to open and displays the reservation on the UA website.

Is this tool supposed to retrieve/display any detail data form the itinerary in the tool beyond the PNR, Name and Notes?

I didn't see much documentation on this. I thought it might be some sort of Trip-It lite.

Thanks

Can I use the KVS Tool to search for "T" award availability for AA?

When I search using the tool I only see results for "Y".

If you mean MileSAAver awards, just use the BA or QF functions?

looking for a journey from ICN to GRU on AF , i can't see the booking price F1SF0KR (discount First class) on different methods proposed, that is shown by ITA.
Is there a method that shows all the prices?

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

For AA Award Availability, you need to use the [Awards/Upgrades] Tab:

Interesting.
So, ITA have access to private fares that KVS/GDS don't show;
Nevertheless, a fare that you qualify as "in-error" is right for consumers (-40% !)
This fare is also available on AF website...

Well - resolved to the extent that premium fares display again^^ - but it looks like ALL fares display, though I requested just Business fares?
(same thing happens when looking at RTW fares)

Doesn't seem to be fully working for UA. Can't get the C/F cabin (2 cabin plane) to work on some routes. Example - UA126, LAX-IAD on 8/5. Always brings up just the coach cabin. Note that this is a pmCO 752 with the lie flat BF seats (as well as E+)
