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.

Some functions of the Mobile Companion were unavailable for a brief period yesterday, due to an Engine upgrade.

This did not affect the main KVS Tool application.

It is becoming more clear.

I was able to replicate your results, when removing the filter for Star Alliance airlines, and requesting a display for all airlines.

My results were displayed with filter on for Star Alliance airlines.

Pandaperth's example (post #4816) was was ANZ only.

I am confused - why the Star Alliance option gives fewer options than individual airlines like NZ or SQ (I entered SQ - more fare options than my display, but less so than your example above).

You need to make your query more specific by entering an airline preference for your request.

But I would have thought that the Star Alliance (filter) option, would give the sum of the results for each of the airlines, which otherwise would have been displayed separately?

The Filter can only remove (filter-out) unwanted results; it cannot add anything that was not a part of the original query's results.

I am not able to retrieve my booked trips in KVS as usual with the click on the arrow. Checkmytrip.com is showing up, but only an empty website with the CMT-logo, but no trip data at all - just the logo and nothing else.

Is it only me experiencing these problems or not?

All PNR retrieval options in the KVS Tool continue to function normally.

Sounds like a web browser compatibility issue on your end -- have you tried the [Amadeus Classic] option?

Perhaps your shorter list is caused by your more restricted date range (12 Dec to 24 Dec)
Any fares that require a longer stay away will not show
Also perhaps some of the fares on my list are seasonal fares, and are not available in December.

The OP's dates are fine for most RTW Fares; it is the lack of Airline specification that limits the results.

Would love to know this as well. Don't see any way to signup on the GTC site.
