How To Save Itineraries
 
I hope it's not just me but I cannot find how the "Save" function works on the tool.
I am currently Diamond and what I would like to do is add the fixed dates I have for
my departing flight and then the return. I want to use British Airways. I can leave from
SEA, SFO or LAX to LHR. My return from LHR can also be to one of those three.

I was curious if I can add (Save??) this information once so I don't need to key each
combination in each time I want to search.

Is it's possible to load SEA/LHR, SFO/LHR or LAX/LHR on my departure date and then the
reverse for the return date I want? Then return any time I want and search for award
space with a few clicks.

Appreciate hearing from anyone with the answer.

Yes, if you get a specific search set up, you can hit the save button and it will show up under the "My Trips" tab. After that, you can just click on a line in that tab and it will populate the search and then you just hit the search button.

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...

KVS Tool Works perfectly. @:-)

Win On X is based on Wine.

Thanks for confirming -- we will be adding WinOnX to the http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Mac section of the KVS Tool User Guide.

Also, if you can provide a screenshot via http://Contact.KVSTool.com/, we would be pleased to include it as well.

I am interested to find an answer to Tim's question too.

There are no alerts as such, but once you [Save] the desired itinerary to [My Trips], it only takes a mouse-click to periodically [re-]check Availability.

Is it a planned upgrade? Because the value added to KVS would be immeasurable.

I am trying to search for awards on Aug 27 & 28 2013 for British Airways, both of which are up
on their website. I cannot see these dates though on the KVS tool. Normally how many days after
an airline has them available can I see them on KVS?

BA opens up availability 355 days in advance. Thus, current availability is through August 27, 2013. I can see award flights for the 27th on the BA website as well as using KVS (both Amadeus Awards OneWorld and Amedeus Awards BA-OneWorld).

Indeed, the maximum range for BA Award Availability is 355 days and it is the same whether you use the KVS Tool or the BA.com website.
