FlyerTalk Forums - KVS Availability Tool

I've checked S* upgrade quota(EVA) via (Awards/Star Alliance) and JP-ANA-Sp1 from KVS with Platinum membership in a PC Windows7 without any problem for 2 weeks. Suddenly, I couldn't anymore and this message appears-->Engines/MSIE Cookies Error [SF1-BSY].

I looked at KVS compatibility page and it seems like the error should come from the crossover MAC or other systems, which is not installed in my laptop.

If you are trying to use other OneWorld airline miles (e.g. AA) then you might not see availability until 24-48 hours before... E.g. Award Nexus shows (via BA and QF) two seats in F available for tomorrow (Friday CX 873 departs in 7 hours!!) but none for Sunday -- wait til Saturday and CX 879 may well show availability as it is F4 for revenue seats (CX 873 is F0 on Sunday, so it won't open up)

DAK

Just to emphasize my final point.... there are now 2 F award seats open for OneWorld partners on CX 879 for Sunday Apr 27th.... AwardNexus via BA and QF. When I checked last night there was no availability for OneWorld (but there was for Asia miles), now at two days before flight they released them to partners.

Also, 1 F award is open on May 3rd (CX 879) and May 4th (CX 873) for OneWorld partners. There is a good chance this will expand to 2 seats a couple of days before flights.

Nothing yet for May 5th/6th but hang in there and keep checking.

In addition to advice, provided by dkerr, you may wish to use the [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method, as it shows negative Award Availability more explicitly:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.3.6/Diamond - Awards/JL-OneWorld/US]

Code:

SFO  San Francisco Intl CA US [KSFO]

HKG  Hong Kong Intl HK [VHHH]

MON  05 May 2014



Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive    A/C  St  Availability

---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  -------------

CX         873     SFO   01:00     HKG   06:10 +1  77W  0   FS0  CS0  YS0

CX         879     SFO   13:45     HKG   19:00 +1  744  0   FS0  CS0  YS0

Yes, JL is a good source, but note that it only works up until 4 days before departure. So for last minute availability, which CX has a habit of releasing, you need another source. Hence why I was using BA or QF. JL is also showing the one F award seat on the 3rd and 4th but won't show anything for the 27th as closer than 4 days from now.

What is the airline/flight in question?

Yea, Im seeing that.

Right now Im researching flights, on US and go to the US Air website and look for the low award availability. Im sorry to say that if the award availability does not work like it did for *A, my continued use of KVS will come to an end.

Can you think of any way for the tool to search AA/US for low award availability?

As mentioned previously, KVS Tool fully supports AA & US Award Availability:

I just purchased the KVS Tool. Pretty amazing stuff.

Any chance you'll be adding an email feature in the near future, where it will send you an alert if Z award seat availability pops up on a planned route?
