Thanks. Can you enter a flight number in KVS to find out what route flight is?

Yes go to track tab and enter the details in there although I just put it into google. :D

The Mobile Companion Availability Engine is currently experiencing issues with flights that depart earlier than ~06:00am (such as the flights in question). However, you can still access Timetables & Seats Maps for it.

Question: why do availability differ for point-to-point vs a transit involving 2 sectors?

Specifically i'm looking at BKK-HKG on 25th August using Cathay Pacific.
if I search under BKK-HKG the flight is zero out in cheap economy class for most of them.
However if I search under BKK-HKG-TPE on same day, most of cheaper economy class are open.

Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Factors

It is not unusual for the airline to make more seats available for connecting itineraries. Otherwise, BKK-HKG bookings would prevent PAX originating/terminating in XXX from travelling on that airline.

Noob question here.

Am searching for MAN-JFK on AA for October 12th. AA website shows Q availability, but KVS doesn't? Why is this?

INDEXP Aug 19, 2013 1:13 pm

AA award to PPT
 
Can KVS help me find flights to PPT? I currently have a couple of business class tickets scheduled for 10/16 - 10/25 (IND->LAX->PPT->HNL->DFW->IND). I need to change this to either the first 2 weeks of November or anytime in December. I am also not crazy about the fact that one of my existing flights goes through HNL. I have used KVS in the past with success, but those were all One World awards. I have spent hours one the phone and looking for a better solution to search for flights.

Thanks!

Also, KVS shows there is zero availability EDI-ORF. That is obviously not right.

Availability/ETR, which seems to be the only one that can look up AA availability?
