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.

Should there be an entry for F in this search?

Hello, please see the picture of a redemption search below. We already have seats of QF12 in J on 24th Dec 2012. I'm going to keep an eye on availability in F now that we're on the A380 which has F. However, the search doesn't show anything (positive or negative) for F. Am I missing something?

Thank you.
Remember, award availability is constantly changing. I am no longer seeing a C seat available on that flight, so I'm guessing someone took the seat. As explained by KVS, there was never any F availability for you since you are using US miles and not LX miles.

BA Award/Upgrade Availability is accessible via the [Awards/OneWorld] Method at the Platinum level.

It is also accessible via [Awards/BA-OneWorld] & [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Methods at the Diamond level.

The [Awards/OneWorld] Method does not show Cabins that have no Award Availability.

If you would prefer to see the lack of Award Availability more explicitly, you can use the [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method instead:

It is also accessible via [Awards/BA-OneWorld] & [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Methods at the Diamond level.

I'd originally asked on the BA forum about the ability to be sent alerts in the event of award seats opening up. I see I can save a search. But getting alerts?

Can KVS do that? If so how do I do it?

Problem With Routing Rules Engine?

Is anyone else having problems accessing routing rules at the moment?

I'm getting the following error message:
"* INVALID RQST FOR RTGS - USE 4FR AND SPECIFY LINE NBR"

(even when trying various fares and city-pairs which I am sure have worked in the past).

Win7, KVS 7.0.4/Diamond - in case it makes a difference...
