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?

Those options are not available for OneWorld, but you can use the 30-day Power Search:

I have rechecked the credentials and followed the cookie settings guide. Still giving me the same error. Are there any other options why this might not be working?
I'm using CrossOver on Mac.

USAirways Routes on OneWorld Searches
 
How do I look for USAir routes under OneWorld? I seem to get VERY few or none or route too complex.

Please advise. I used to love this tool when US was part of the Star Alliance.

You need to use the [Awards/BA-OneWorld] Method for US Award Availability:

Im having the same problem.

I am using the BA credentials, all I get is "no award availability/too complex".

Ive tried several destinations and dates, but I get no real data.

I upgraded to diamond to be able to use the tool for award availability for upgrades on US Air flights........

What route(s)/date(s) are you searching and why do you believe that there should be positive Award Availability on those flights?

US always has open upgrades for flights. On *A you would at least see F- if there was nothing or F+ if there was.

I tried several routes PHX-HNL PHX-JFK PHX-MCO

All routes Ive got the award upgrades on. I used the US Air website to see that there are upgrades available but nothing shows on the KVS tool.

Only flights with positive Award Availability (in at least one Cabin) will be shown when using the [Awards/BA-OneWorld] Method.

Getting error message when trying to check Oneworld BA award availability

Error requesting data [RW-1]

Error 12002: Timeout

Error 35756: Unable to complete request/MSIE off-line mode activated
Disconnected



Version 7.3.6/Diamond

My laptop isn't working and using my MAC. Can anyone tell me if KVS shows any Low level award in J from IAH to ICN around NOV 20th using Delta Sky Miles. I'm looking for 3 tickets which is almost impossible but you never know. Im looking to go to DPS and KE has a good connecting flight. I could do China Airlines to TPE as well out of LAX. My return I will go in Y class. Those seem wide open at this point.

Do you have the Off-Line mode activated in MSIE?

Please also check your Time-Out settings:

They service IAH and ATL as well. I really need to get back on KVS. THANKS! I guess I have to go buy a $100 computer just so I can get my KVS back. KVS is the only way to plan long complex trips. No other tool comes close.

If you have a copy of Windows lying around, I imagine VMware (or whatever VM software you prefer) would be cheaper than a new machine.
