Indeed -- that's really odd :confused:. Just tried it, and A-class shows-up on all other routes, except ex-NRT, e.g.:

[KVS Availability Tool - Apollo: ITN/CWT/US-NY]
Code:

NYC  New York Metro NY US = JFK LGA EWR
LON  London Metro UK = LHR LGW STN LTN LCY
MON  01 May 2006

Carrier  Flight From Depart    To  Arrive    A/C  St Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- -- -----------------------------------------------------
AA        142    JFK  08:30    LHR  20:25    777  0  F7 A2 J7 D7 I0 Y7 B7 W7 H7 K7 S7 G7 M7 O0 L7 V7 N7 Q7

[KVS Availability Tool - Apollo: ITN/CWT/US-NY]
Code:

NRT  Tokyo Narita JP [RJAA]
DFW  Dallas Metro / Dallas/Ft Worth TX US = DAL DFW [KDFW]
MON  01 May 2006

Carrier  Flight From Depart    To  Arrive    A/C  St Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- -- -----------------------------------------------
AA        176    NRT  12:40    DFW  10:00    777  0  F7 J7 D7 I7 Y7 B7 K7 M7 W7 H7 L7 V7 S7 Q7 N7 O7

Obviously. So we agree that it is a little perverse to actually specify AUA/*A in the FAQ related to OW carriers? :) Sorry that I wasn't being clear about my confusion with that statement in the FAQ.

Aha! ^ Thanks.. I was assuming 00:00 would detect anything during the day. (And didn't even notice the other choice above it.) Undone by my own limiting assumption! :p

Well, a little bit; but then again, one should forget about common sense logic when entering the airline world :) ... Having said that, the statement remains correct.

"A" Booking Class on AA's NRT & PVG Routes
 
For some unknown reason, AA hides A class on their NRT/PVG routes: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=513470

As someone pointed out in another forum, A Class NRT/PVG AA flight inventory is viewable on ExpertFlyer .

i don't seem to find it using the availability tool.

Thanks.

ExpertFlyer has announced today the viewability of AC's D and W classes. These are hidden classes and must be entered into the Class box. I class is also available as an unhidden class along with the other inventory.

Question re booking classes
 
If I read the booking classes for AA correctly, the class for upgrading with miles is "C". Yet, when I look in any of the KVS bookings, I do not see "C" listed anywhere. First, am I right that this is a C class and, if so, why can't I see them in KVS. I used to see them in the "old tool" Galileo-CRS(?). Thanks.

Yes, you're right -- it is the C class. However, AA made it a hidden class, and, therefore, it is not supported by the KVS Tool. For a listing of supported AA booking classes, please see the chart at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...49#post4148749

Great job KVS! ^ ^ ^ ^

Thanks KVS! One question though, where did the Clear button go?

That button was moved to the toolbar, located in the upper right-hand corner.

Does anyone know how I can view HP generated PNR's on this tool? I've tried all four options given, but to no avail.

Thanks!

Any way to access SHARES or EASYR?
 
KVS,

As always thank you for the great program.

I was wondering if it would be possible to access CO's SHARES or EASYR (or I guess WORLD if they ever get it up) system via the tool. I like the fact that Amadeus shows CO's R bucket, but the utility of the program would be greatly increased if it could show E, F, M, G (the reward classes).

Thanks!

The website appears to be down right now... anyone having any luck accessing it?
