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).

Well, the Tool does provide access to data from all 5 major GDS systems. There are tens of proprietary systems like "SHARES", and they are all for those airlines' internal use only... The real issue is that CO had decided not show their award booking classes, and there is really not much I can do to change their mind ;).

Whats the best Option to use for checking LY (ELAL) Fares? I realise they use the 'Carmel' system but i thought they started to share info with Sabre?

P.S, Sent you contribution today!!

Travelocity pulls up fares loaded in Sabre. Arkia and El Al both show up there. Just use flexible dates for the route of your choosing and then select the carrier of your choice, and it should work like it just did for me. Unfortunately, selecting LY or Arkia Israel is not an option in the pull down menu there to just get LY's fares and strike out the rest. But it still works for me to find the various lowest LY fares loaded into Sabre.

LY is supported by the KVS Tool, all you have to do is select "Sabre: Fares", and enter "LY" in the airline field; I don't know which route(s) does IZ fly, so I can't check...

Normally, you don't need a new key when upgrading to a newer version. However, there are a few users who had installed the withdrawn V1.4.9 during the short time it was available for download, and they will require a new key.

Just added a section on this error to the FAQ: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...74#post2804874

Upgrade Reminder: V1.5.0

Please note that if you are an existing KVS Availability Tool user, and still have not yet upgraded to Version 1.5.0, you should do so soon, as all previous versions will expire shortly.
