I was expecting "No award message" instead of the Error message.

Thx.

When using the [Awards/SkyTeam] Method, that message is displayed when there is no Award Availability. However, in your scenario, the issue is the complete lack of flights.

Anyone else experiencing problems with CX availability? Just posted in another thread, post 3171 in this thread.

Anything wrong with the tool at the moment? The below is just not a very likely situation :-)

PS: I have tried it with various time options - it doesn't improve the situation.

Can someone please post the availability on LH 612 (FRA-GYD) on May 26th?

I am getting zero availability at LH official website for the whole week 26-31 May. This applies to both C and Y revenue tickets, which I find rather strange.

Thanks!

I'm new to KVS as of a few hours ago, and I'm having trouble getting any UA information on the "R" availability.

I've performed a few tests and R shows available on united.com in expert mode, but I can't get the same thing to show up using the tool.

An example is KWI - IAD on October 22.

Does anyone know of a previous post to explain how to get this? I was told by the 1K Desk that if the R cabin showed available, then I could use my Global Premier Upgrade for this ticket. It's just too time consuming to use their website.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, they intend to keep it that way.

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.

If you are still working on May 5th/6th now is the time to start actively looking. E.g. one first seat is open on CX879 on the 5th for OneWorld partners (BA via AwardNexus) and one business seat open on CX879 on the 6th for OneWorld partners. For AsiaMiles there are 2x F seats on the 5th and 7th. 2x Business class on the 6th.

Flights are very full SFO-HKG on the 5th/6th, especially on the 5th (I'm very surprised they are even offering the one F seat) your best bet looks like CX879 on the 6th in business class, maybe first if you are lucky. You may find that they open 1x F seat and 1x C seat on CX879 on the 6th.... consider grabbing them and maybe closer to flight time a 2nd F seat will become available and you change the C booking to an F booking.

Over the next few days more availability may open up for OneWorld partners... you should check regularly, like 2x daily.

Good luck.

KVS Tool: AA AM Redemption and Upgrade availability
 
I am slow at this stuff, so my renewal to Diamond tier and new search today was expected to produce a stuttering affair. I was not disappointed in that, at least.
I am searching for availability on AA on flts 135 and 136 in August. I have registered my CX and BA FF nos and pws.
I try method: availability ETR [whatever that means] as the other 2 methods don't work at for AA.
I try using OW CX and OW BA.
Nothing shows.
I try looking on American itself on the Tool. Nada.
I cleared cookies in Firefox and tried again. No joy.
And yet I see availability on American's own site. Weird.
Can someone offer a suggestion, please?
Tx, NK.

You must be looking at the wrong Award Type on AA.com:

Thanks for the reply! After countless hours of searching, I was able to find what I needed. I'll be traveling from CLT to NRT using a GPU on UA, then returning from HKG, also using a GPU.

The tool was very useful to find award flights with *A once I get to my destination. I'll be traveling to SYD, AKL and other destinations, all FC, thanks to the tool.

Unfortunately, not very useful for determining the United GPU availability. I realize that it's United's fault, not KVS.

Thanks again,
Mark
