Thanks for the Heads up. Unfortunately the results I am getting from the AC version US Airways cannot seem to see availability.

Are you perchance looking at LH F availability?

Looks like a temporary datalink/communication issue between the [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Engine and CX's systems -- please try again later.

KVS trouble
 
Just signed up for and downloaded KVS Tool. When searching for award availability I'm getting a "No Award Availability" result. I'm searching for a Nov 17 flight from RIO to PHX on One World Alliance, tried searching by leg through MIA.

I entered my BA account in the settings tab and used the following for the search.

Method: Amadeus: Awards/BA-OneWorld
Awards/Upgrades Tab
From: RIO
To: MIA
Date: 17 Nov 2012
Airline: *0 OneWorld
Cabins: All
Sort by: Connections

Hit "Go" and I get no award availability.... where am I going wrong?

I get the same result. Have you considered the possibility that there just isn't any award availability?

shawnb83 Jul 21, 2012 1:23 am

As another test I tried using KVS to search Nov 6, 2012 for award flights to EZE from PHX on OneWorld, and I get the "no award availability" result as well. Even though direct on the AA website there are award seats showing for 20k mile coach, 50k business and 62.5k first class.

Why the difference? Do I have something setup incorrectly? I am a Diamond Member.

Just trying to get the reigns of this tool.

UPDATE: Same results achieved as your search...

For the RIO to PHX trip, I guess there is no award availability unless I'm still missing something.

There is no Award Availability on those AA Flights -- you can use the [Awards/JL-OneWorld], which will show zero Award Availability explicitly:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.0.3/Diamond - Axess: Awards/JL-OneWorld]
Code:

RIO  Rio De Janeiro Metro RJ BR = GIG SDU
MIA  Miami Intl FL US [KMIA]
SAT  17 Nov 2012

Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive    A/C  St  Availability
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  ------------
AA        904    RIO  22:20    MIA  04:20 +1  763  0  CS0  YS0

There is F Award Availability via MIA. There may also be other Award Availability using more creative routings, but you would need to search segment-by-segment:

Be sure to upgrade to the latest KVS Tool version (V7.0.3).

I just signed up for the KVS Tool and I had a question.

I was looking at YYZ-FRA in LH for 7/26/12. KVS shows no awards available for F and J on LH471.

However, the flight looks quite open up front. F4 A4 J9 C9 D9 Z9.

Am I interpreting the results correctly? The cabin is basically empty, yet LH is not releasing the seats to Aeroplan / Star Alliance members?
