Hi I was thinking about picking up a membership to KVSTool and I wanted to know if you have already rolled out the necessary changes to be able to search for DJ/VA award flights now that they are on Sabre?

Thanks,
Nissan

KVS Tool had supported Award Availability for VA & VA/DJ codeshares since May 2012:
http://Help.KVSTool.com/#VA

Now that all DJ flights are marketed using the VA code, they are supported as well:

KVS says "yes" ba.com says "no"
 
KVS says "yes" ba.com says "no"!



When I see kvs showing F redemption availability on BA operated flights but ba.com says it isn't available ..... which is right and why is there a differece? I've noticed that KVS is showing this for 350 to 354 days but I thought redemptions were released at 350 days. Is this related?

Thanks.

Seat Maps
 
I am more and more disappointed with the seat maps - in particular Amadeus enhanced - as they are more and more either incorrect, not up to date or do not show up. (e.g. Lufthansa and Swiss) Cross checking with other systems and/or Airline is necessary. That is not what for I was buying this tool.

I am kindly asking KVS to improve here.

There should be no issue with LH or LX seat maps (both Standard & Enhanced). All Seat Maps are real-time, so they can't really be "not up to date".

If you have any specific examples, please provide them via http://Contact.KVSTool.com/

Sounds like an issue with the BA.com website -- have you tried calling BAEC to book?

The maximum date range for BAEC redemptions is 354 days.
