Does the KVS tool allow you to see the above fare rules to easily work out if there are other destination options ?
It does when it's working properly. Right now it isn't.

Yes and no. Fare rules are often the same or quite similar for a whole list of destinations, but in my experience they will never present you with a list of possible destinations. So you'd have to try a few places to see if anything similar comes up.

If you want to see whether there are other possibilities to get from DUB to MCO, then yes, KVS can - when it works - show you the routing rules attached to a certain fare which can help you find different or additional stopovers.

Thanks. I thought it would be that and probably not of any value to me at this stage then.

KVS shows this availability. But every booking engine, including United.com, only offers me a W seat. Can anyone explain?

Just because there is availability in a particular class for this flight doesn't mean that there is an eligible fare for it at the moment. If the KVS were showing fares, you could cross-check this and the applicable rules.

Could be any number of reasons.
  1. No W class fare defined between your start and end points.
  2. You don't meet the advance reservation, minimum stay, or maximum stay rules for a W fare
  3. W fare not available on your return leg (if a roundtrip) and the fare you are using for your return is non-combinable with a W fare, or vice-versa
  4. You are booking for two or more people and only 1 W fare is offered
  5. KVS listing is out of date
  6. KVS listing relates to a different point of sale than that which you are looking to book from
  7. Married segments
  8. Starnet blocking

OK maybe not the last one.

Help?

Question:

I'm thinking about getting KVS.

Are there any airlines that have restricted access or just simply never show up on KVS? I'll be doing a lot of BOS-ATH searching, using multiple via points to get there. Thanks!

I believe the poster of this particular question was wondering why there is availability below W class, but united.com only gives him/her a W class fare. In this case, there are fares cheaper than W in the market, but the routing rules require travel through IAH or DEN. The cheaper fares are not allowed on the non-stop service.

No, that would be technically impossible.

Resolved: [Fares/PSH] Method Issues
 
[Fares/PSH] Method issues have now been resolved.

Please restart the KVS Tool if necessary.

Hello KVS, is there a code for a long time FTers avail? I've tried YGPM on Diamond option and it says that it's not valid.

Thanx a lot, regards,
Victor

Flights to Bkk via NRT
 
I'm trying to use KVS to find some good fares from Mia to Bkk on AA around Feb 10th. Using the Fares/PSH, I see some good fares. When I check Availability, I see Flights on AA to LHR then on TG to Bkk.
How can I see the availability of AA flights to Bkk via NRT?

I would suggest searching one leg at a time for that.
