NYC-MUC [Via] DEN, then MUC-NYC

NYC-DEN, then DEN-MUC, then MUC-NYC

Still doing something wrong:

Isn't this your suggestion?

Thanks!

There are no direct flights between DEN-MUC and very limited flights between NYC-DEN, so you would need to check each segment separately:

NYC-DEN, then DEN-MUC, then MUC-NYC

OK.... I must be doing this wrong.

I'm running the query in KVS under Sabre on the fares tab
this returns the TAPUK9 fare

I'm then right clicking it and selecting "find flights using this fare ITA"

That opens a new "matrix search" window

I then fill that form out, inputting

depart = LHR
copy the fare code into the next box = LON :: /F BA.LON+DXB.TAPUK9
destination = DXB
fare code = DXB :: /F BA.LON+DXB.TAPUK9
outbound date = 9/21
return date 12/18
Adults = 1
Cheapest available

Hit search

No fares available every time.

I've mailed you a screenshot as well, just so you can see what I see

Thanks for all the help, I apologise for being useless!!

ITA will auto-fill the "next box" automatically --
All you only need to enter is:

Departing From: LON :: /F BA.LON+DXB.TAPUK9
Destination: DXB :: /F BA.LON+DXB.TAPUK9

I was doing it wrong!!

Thanks for clearing that up.... unfortuantely it seems the prices the KVS tool displays are without taxes, but it's great to be able to use the tool properly.

Thanks again for the assist.

Can you please point me to (or repost) the specific instructions on how to change the time-out setting, as I can't seem to find it?

There you go:
If the [Receive Time-Out] value shown under the [System Info] section in the [Internet Connection Test] is less than 300 seconds (or is shown as "Default" or "0"):
Apply the FixIt solution from Microsoft Support Article Q181050 (32-Bit Systems) or Registry File (64-Bit Systems) and restart the machine.

Mac OS X - KVSTool works easy
 
I tried WinOnX (for a few $ in the Appstore).
KVS Tool Works perfectly. @:-)

Win On X is based on Wine.

No need for WIN on my MAC anymore and destroyed 45GB Virtual Maschine.
Yeah!:)

That is nice, but the bigger issue is that it is 2012 and KVS is still not supported natively on mac, or web for that matter. Here is to hoping KVS modernizes with apps for iOS/Android/Mac

KVS shows - but ExpertFlyer shows 4 F seats...
 
Hello.
Confused.
I use both KVS and ExpertFlyer.

KVS shows - for award (-) First class (O) on LX161 Sept 12 NRT-ZRH

BUT

ExpertFlyer shows (O) 4 seats available...

Which to believe to use my USairways miles with.

Thank you.

KVS,

I'd recommend adding VirtualBox to the list of ways to run the program on a Mac. It's totally free, and doesn't glitch out/take up too much battery life like CrossOver, or require you to restart like BootCamp. I've been using this for a while and it works like a charm.
