KVS Mobile No Longer Shows O/I availability for LH flights. Is this permanent or will that functionality be returning. It did show I/O about 24 hours ago.

Thanks

LH O/I/X Classes may often be included in Regular Availability searches.

However, for reliable and consistent access to LH Award Availability, you should use the main KVS Tool application:

Awards/Oneworld searches not working for me this morning. I get an error message "Data Source Error L - Incorrect QF FF Credentials". I have verified my QF FF number and password. Using version 7.2.4 of KVS.

UPDATE - problem now seems resolved.

Fares/FC - Availability-GTC
 
-no fares found between TYO and FLL/MIA using Fares/FC method?
-Availability/GTC method not working? credentials are valid and verified

Using latest 7.2.4.R1 version...

The new search engine of the beta version is a kind of script which is searching day by day and is stopping at the first positive answer.
Isn't it possible to have the results like the method "Awards/StarAlliance-7D" with all the positive answers ?

Have just started playing around with the beta version and noticed this too. Any news on a version that will show all results within the specified date range?

The intention behind the new [Power Search] function is to locate Regular, Award and Upgrade Availability across a multiple date range (when a standard specific-date search is not sufficient):

There are number of reasons why it is not designed to show results for multiple dates simultaneously, one which has been noted below:

However unless the appropriate itinerary is requested, the results returned for all dates could be quite overwhelming … which also would make it useless. :)

The [Power Search] function is much more powerful than the 7-Day search provided by the [Awards/StarAlliance-7D] Method, which is limited to direct flights only and will also stop searching, once it locates a sufficient number of flights with positive Availability.

Power Search needs a "Continue" button. The user can note the results and continue on with the search for the remaining range of dates. Pretty simple to add and worth a try in the beta.

I'm getting the hang of this. Power search is basically a macro for the tool. That said, it stops at the first instance of the filter. It needs a "continue" button to resume the rest of the search.

This has already been implemented in the latest Beta -- if you click the [Power Search] button after matching Flight(s) have been located, it will continue from the following date.

Was wondering why KVS/ANA wasn't working suddenly, so I logged into my ANA account and found that the Star Alliance awards options were all grayed-out.

Should I have some miles in there?

I used to have some in the account a long time ago, but none now...

The [Awards/StarAlliance] Method continues to function normally.
What is the exact issue that you are experiencing?

No, this limitation does not apply to KVS Tool users.

I am receiving a timeout with KVS/ANA.

(Was on JP-ANA-SP1 (Error Requesting Data [I]: Error 12007, Error 9002.) and JP-ANA-STD (Error 9001: Time-Out Requesting Data))

I have my ANA card number and PIN in KVS, so this should not be a problem-except for the fact that my online account with ANA doesn't allow me to search for *A awards...

Requesting a "minus only" option on the range pull down.
