FlyerTalk Forums - KVS Availability Tool

I've been having trouble for a couple of days with routing rules on US and UA. Error retrieving fare rules[WDC-S-RTR]--"the system was unable to locate a matching fare". Or "the system is currently busy" or "I/O error". Perhaps I'm unaware of something.

An example:
US Air
SFO-PIT
Dec 11-12
r/t
Fare: RIATNJ6

Any suggestions. Thank you.

Is it because it is a new fare that prevents it from displaying on KVS?

Any idea why AA c/s shows 0 coach availability for this routing?
KVS has shown it available all day.

Try using BA/Oneworld instead, I find that to be more accurate.
Or just go straight up on AA.com

Yes, the Routing Rules Engine may, sometimes, be unable to find an exact match for certain newly-loaded Fares.

There are definitely 4 Y Award Seats currently available on that flight.

That FAQ is seemingly for agents having problems finding awards seats on partner airlines. Regardless, called an AAgent, on an AA flight, and AA.com & AA can't locate. KVS still showing as available.

SQ KF systems are currently down -- please try again in a few hours or use one of the other *A Award Availability Methods.

AA is still reporting positive Y Award Availability on AA 241 to at least 3 of its airline partners -- you may wish to escalate this issue to an AADV supervisor.
