What are the flight #s in question?





As noted in the KVS Tool User Guide, the [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method is more authoritative for AA Award Availability:

http://Help.KVSTool.com/#AA

The search lists several flight available on AA, such as 254-1062; 14-1445; but none of these are actually available on Nov 15.

Thanks, and I will try the JL search as well, but just seemed strange that this would show as available on the OneWorld search.

There is no Award Availability on those flights:

It is a known issue with the [Awards/OneWorld] Engine for AA flights.

$20 for 2 months Diamond is not to bad IMO

Hi, question about BA engine - Many times it just popped up saying error: stopover is possible..... How to solve this?

Question posted and answered many times before - NO. They offer a cheap 2 month trial, but not free.

Is there a listing of what the text in the status bar means while performing a search?

Also, I have registered KVS on new computer and I'm receiving an Error message sometimes but not always:
Datasource Error [R1]
"Could not find an airport for SFO"

Usually repeating the search a few times fixes the problem

Indeed, the shortest membership option is 2 months:

Those status codes are for internal use only.

KVS, can you tell me if the Tool still not showing 4M flights?, because I was able to see it in the past (Awards/OneWorld option) but a friend of mine couldn't find a single seat :( with the tool.
LA in the other hand have few 4M on the lowest fare (35K kms each way).

Thank you

Fed

PS: any discount for an inactive customer? :D

Do you have any specific 4M route(s) in mind?

Our few random searches are also not showing any positive 4M availability on that route ...

fedechat Feb 20, 2014 8:48 am

I was afraid of your answer :(, after QF made the change on their website (few months ago), they will not show 4M flights anymore, even at 331 days in advance.
Since KVS tool use QF system, there is no way to find 4M flights with any tool, unless we call AA/BA/QF and find a agent that know how to look on that particular airline :eek: :(

Thank you
