Where does the KVS tool get its data and is KVS authorized to provide this data in the manner it is presented?

The tool is known to access a variety of web sites, many in a manner that is not authorized. Please see the next section of this Wiki for a list of sites believed to be accessed and their data access policies (where known).

Additionally, under some conditions the tool appears to access sites via a KVS-operated back end. This means that the tool is not just a 'web browser' that runs via a user's machine. No detailed public information is available about how this works or whether any of this back-end access is authorized.

Since USDM will leave *A today
I have to use my miles for OW tickets.
On KVS which I have used for many years now I am trying to workout the best way to
find award space on JAL. The setting OneWorld does not show it and when I try CX or JL,
it does not work for JL award space.
Thank you.

Hello. Tried that many times but I still get the same error message:
RSD-1 & RSD-2 "please enter a departure"
I have changed departures from NRT to HND to KIX and dates on various months and this error message keeps popping up. I know BA and JL have these flights daily but do not show up.
Like NRT-LHR, NRT-HEL, NRT-YVR etc.
Ideas?

I think KVS is best for *A.
I just did June 1 for NRT-ORD
Availability showed various flights
Award/UG showed RSD-2 "Please enter a departure"
Very slow to even get that result compared to *A.
Thank you.

KVS was fine this morning, but when I just tried it for a Star Alliance search, all of my hits come back with "?".

OneWorld searches are unaffected.

Windows, running KVS version 7.3.6 with Diamond membership.

Any ideas what's going on?

The [Awards/StarAlliance] Engine is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance.

You can use the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method during this period.

Hello. I did what you said and dowloaded 7.3.6.
It did work for October 1.
I guess when your try June 1, if there is no award space it will state "No availability".
Honestly, *A is a gem to work with. This OW will take some getting used to.

You need to download the latest version to avoid that error message:

Hey,
I need some help!

I've been trying to search for Award seats using the BA-OneWorld method. It keeps telling me Data Source Error [L]: ""
I've tried that for about a week now. I've also tried OneWorld method but it doesn't seem to give me all the airline options.

Am I doing something wrong? I've downloaded the latest 7.3.5.R3/Diamond

Thanks!

Oh, thanks!

Also one other question about One World searching. I didn't see a capability for +/- 3 day or +6 day searching compared to Star Alliance?
