Do you have access to the Mobile Companion? I find it works really well for AA.

Please restart the KVS Tool if necessary.

I'm afraid there are still gremlins in the system. While fares show up, if I ask for fare rules I get Error retrieving fare rules: "Error".

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.

There are no codes, but the annual membership options do come with a 2-month bonus, which is included automatically:

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

Indeed.

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!

The short answer is 'no', but if you have any specific airline(s) in mind, we would be able to provide a more detailed answer.

Please see also http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes for a partial list of 500+ supported airlines.

The Fare Rules option continues to function normally. However, you may receive an Error Message if you come across a restricted Fare (which is rare).

-So, when joining and paying for Diamond bundle, I get 14 months. Correct? Thanx
-Also, what option would you recommend for my Mac to run? I am 95% interested in using *A (LH and LX) tickets and class availability (most miles generating classes in Y and C) and occasional upgrade. Thank you ))

upd: ah, just saw that it's 12mo

If you are interested in *A Awards, then Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion would be best.

Otherwise, you can use any of the Mac options listed at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Mac

Using KVS and searching MUC-YUL on 8/31. LH 474 shows two biz class awards, but when I call United, they don't find it (tried 3 agents). I'm using AC award method.

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

Looks like an issue with the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine.
Unfortunately, there are no C Award Seats available on that flight:

I use free Oracle Virtual box for several years: very fast and always upgraded when needed, for free of course.

Is there anyway to use the Star Alliance M&M method with a temporary account only (no miles)?
