I'm noticing a strange issue with Sabre Availability/FS.

DL1652 shows only 1 Y seat tomorrow when I search ATL-CLT.

[KVS Availability Tool 7.1.3/Diamond - Sabre: Availability/FS/US]

Code:

ATL  Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Intl GA US [KATL]

CLT  Charlotte Douglas NC US [KCLT]

TUE  22 Jan 2013



Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive    A/C  St  Availability

---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  --------------------------------------

DL         1652    ATL   12:05     CLT   13:20     M88      F0 P0 A0 Y1 B0 M0 H0 Q0 K0 L0 U0 T0 E0

DL         1095    ATL   10:45     CLT   12:04     M88      F2 P1 A0 Y9 B6 M5 H4 Q4 K4 L2 U1 T0 E0

DL         2251    ATL   09:20     CLT   10:35     73W      F4 P4 A2 Y9 B8 M6 H4 Q4 K3 L1 U0 T0 E0

If I search for the flight as part of a connecting itinerary, however, I get very different availability. It even differs depending on which flight I choose inbound to ATL.

See the following for example. DL1652 show 4 Y seats in the first two options, and 8 Y seats and 2 F seats in the third option. Again, this is the flight that showed 1 Y seat in the above search.

Any idea why? Also, how will this affect same-day changes on DL? tnx

I am new to kvs tool, entered all the information for award search

But it came back with no award availability.

I am searching for sfo to lim (peru) on july 03 and onwards.
created qantas frequent flyer account, for oneworld award. I gave all the information exactly like in the example screen shot, but it came back with no award availability. AA site shows lots of seats available, but I want to see from other one world airlines in this route.

How to debug this problem?

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

AA.com does not show any Standard Award seats available on 03 Jul.

Are you sure you were looking at the correct Award Type on AA.com?:

Thanks. How do I find out the availability for any date in the calendar format instead of specific date like they show in AA.com? I can pick some day with the availability.

OneWorld Award searches require a specific date to be entered.

Ok. Your Kvs tool either comes back with no award for any dates from July 01 to July 10, or I get 12152 error. I don't have any provision to specify different type of award(like standard, business, anytime). Looks like I cannot use it. Maybe please help me make it work or give the refund.

Why it has to be this complicated?

thanks

You don't need to specify an Award Type, but Additional Awards (which are probably not what you are looking for) are searched separately:

Awards/AC-StarAlliance Broken?

Seems all I can get now for any searches is:

Datasource Error [L]:

"Error Page"

Was working earlier today but now is toast. Anyone else having issues with this now?

More info re: AC-StarAlliance method probs

I'm also seeing this error now:

Sounds like a transient issue with the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine itself.

This is what I got for any dates in July. Looks award availability is not working for this itinerary. I can get it work for US destinations, but this is for Lima, Peru.
