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.

I just called to skypass to ask about these flights, and they said no X (YS) were showing up available in their system.

Connecting flights on June 3rd:
KL 606 from SFO to AMS
KL 1823 from AMS to TXL

Is this a situation in which KL isn't allowing these seats to be taken by korean air skypass members?

Hello,
I am running searches for CX award availability using the Awards/JL-OneWorld method, and am getting the below error. Any sense of when this functionality will be restored?

Thanks!

Hi, So I just signed up for KVS Diamond. I'm currently searching for Awards on CX. HKG-LHR direct, and every flight I search shows FS@ CS@ WS@ YS@, i.e. it shows awards are available at all classes which I know is incorrect.

Any tips thanks of whats going on, thanks.

There is no Award Availability on those flights; "@" indicates a Waitlist for CX AM members:
