I'm trying to check VA award availability using Awards/DL-SkyTeam but I'm getting a "Session Error -- Please Enable MSIE Cookies." This doesn't make any sense because I'm using a Mac & Safari (have External Browser set to C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Safari). In any case, MSIE First-Party Cookies are enabled.

Are you using CrossOver for Mac?

If so, you may need to install a different version:

Yes. Tried the Windows version & the error changed to something like "route not supported". So is there any way to check all VA award availability?

I am planning a trip PVG-DAD for 3 people with DL miles. Using KVS Tool Sky Team award search and found YS3 round trip awards on VN. But when calling DL, I was told it would cost 45,000 miles per person. Is that what YS award costs?

Is it a route from/to AKL by any chance?

That Engine cannot handle VA NZ routes.

At the moment, the only way to check VA Award Availability from/to airports NZ is by using VA.com

Error on KVS Availability for Awards Delta/Skyteam
 
I am noticing some kind of error when using the Awards/DL-Skyteam Method, and the Airlines Quick option.

For example, KVS shows availability for flights IAH-AMS-MAD on 6/3/13 on KLM. I tried booking this in Delta.com 'by schedule', and I receive an error. I have contacted Delta and talked to two different agents, both of which confirm there is no such availability in the Delta system.

Any feedback as to why this search option reports availability that is not actually there? Am I doing something wrong?

At the moment, AF-KL is reporting no Award Availability on KL to AMS:
