AA/AY reward availability
 
aa.com shows no availability, but KVS shows availability on an AY flight (YS+). Can I book this using AAdvantage miles by calling AA even though the flight does not show up on aa.com?

Yes you should be able to.

AA.com is not set up to show availability on AY flights. As of now only BA, AS and HA flights show availability on AA.com So yes, if you call it is likely that your AY flight is available. There will be a fee for booking over the phone.

Anyone else having an issue with copying and pasting when using version 7.2.4.R1 on Windows 8? Essentially everything I copy and paste into KVS tool is truncated by a single character, including passwords. Copying and pasting into any other app works fine.

Not sure if updating to the latest version may help, but v. 7.2.5 has now been released.

Why does a oneworld search of IB awards produce results but BA is showing no availability??

It is an issue with the Windows/Parallels system that the OP is using and not the KVS Tool itself.

What are your search parameters?

I am using 7.2.5 and trying to do a fare search in Fares/PSH for business fares . But all I ever get is an error: "Datasource Error "_logo.jpg"

I get the same error message (Datasource Error: "_logo.jpg") using 7.2.5. The Fares/DRS method still works but does not give any of the BA flights I am looking for. Any workaround for this?


EDIT: works for me now (Fares/PSH) - no longer getting the "datasource" error. Installed some Windows 8 updates, rebooted the computer and waited an hour or so. One (or none) of those must have helped :)

Interline Agreements
 
Are all interline agreements symmetrical?
When sending interline bags from airline XX to ZZ, do I look up airline XX on KVS interline reference and look for an agreement with ZZ, or should I lok up airline ZZ and look for XX?
thanks

The [Fares/PSH] Engine was undergoing maintenance at that time.

Yes, virtually all interline agreements are reciprocal.

Checking award space on a MU flight - Awards/SkyTeam shows CS+ but Availability/FS shows O0... which one is accurate?
