is there any plan to get back [Fares/FS]? Thanks. In the meantime, please use [Fares/PSH].

Happy to use Fares/PSH again and to find some "nuggets" with AF (in first, of course ;))

Issues pulling up KE Award
Trying to check availability on ICN-CMB (one of the segments for the trip).
Tried using the Skyteam-DL method and it said origin and destination not supported - fair enough as I know the DL site can't pull it up Used the Flying Blue way and it keeps saying Engine Error/Date out of Range. I picked a date 3 months out and I know KE operates that route on that date. Any ideas?

No, the [Awards/M&M] Engine requires a permanent M&M card number.

Any idea why BA short haul flights nearly always report all aisle seats as unavailable on KVS? Even though I can check on BA.com for a flight I've booked (or a dummy booking) and they're mostly free?

KVS - maybe I've missed this along the way, but I can't go through 413 pages of replies!...
When searching for rewards under the OW/BA system, I can see exactly how many seats there are in whatever booking class. Great. Under the *A system, I can only see that there are at least 4 seats available, but if I need 6, for example, I use the mobile companion, which shows I class inventory. Why can't we (or maybe how can we) see the reward inventory on the desktop version? |

You can use the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method to search for up to 8 seats.
(Probably would have figured that out eventually, but glad to be told!) |
I've been experimenting with looking up some fares listed on these forums using KVS and ITA Matrix. I'm confused about this:
1. I do a return fare lookup in KVS using Fares/PSH between IAH and KHI on Apr 16. The fare shows as $192 CAD. 2. I do a search on ITA Matrix using the fare basis code beside a carrier of interest (EK using Fare Basis Code LLXIPUS1). 3. I select a flight on ITA Matrix. I see that the fare basis code matches exactly the one in KVS tool, but the fare is more than double what's listed in KVS ($404.50 USD). What gives? |

[Surcharges] |
Ah, I see. I'm still a bit confused, though. Shouldn't something like that surcharge show up under taxes and fees when the flight shows in ITA Matrix? The price difference shows directly on the base fare, which seems strange to me.

Yx-type surcharges are shown separately under Fees/Taxes. |
That clears things up, thanks!

I purchased KVS because I thought it would help me with booking *A awards on a trip to Europe and MLE, but I'm running in to a few problems...
A few days ago, UA's site showed Business Saver availability for 2 seats on Sep 24 from MLE to IST (TK 731, departing 23:40). Today it doesn't show up. However, KVS does show "CS" availability. I looked on UA's site again right after, and again it shows as "not available" for Business Saver. Which tool is right? I'm using the "Awards/StarAlliance" search method |
