I wanted to try the Fares/FC option. On the faq page, it says "Beta".

That Beta is not yet available.

Is it still true that KVS does not support SWU availability search on AA from economy to business.
If so, is ExpertFlyer the only tool and that will show this, and is there a way to search in longer date ranges than +-3 days?
Thx.

Aeroflot Fares?
 
Has something changed regarding access to Aeroflot fares in [Fares/PSH]?

I am sure I was able to view Aeroflot fares in the fairly recent past, but when I try now, I get a "This Method does not support the requested carrier (SU)" error message. Other (SkyTeam) airlines continue to work fine...

The [Fares/PSH] Engine does not currently support SU Fare Listings. However, you can still access Pricing, Fare Rules & Routing Rules for SU Fares by manually entering the Fare Basis Code.

Thanks for the response. I am sure I used to be able to access SU fares listing, so this change is unfortunate (although I realise it is outside of KVS' control).

That is good to know - although unfortunately, I don't know SU's Fare Basis Codes by heart (unlike some other airlines which I regularly use...)

Quick question - Diamond member here. Tried using search as for sure this question was asked before but no luck - sorry for this.
I try to find a star alliance award, but this would require 2 connections. Using KVS for every destination which requires 2 or more connections is useless - i get No results/route too complex. So I either need to do two searches (one for OTP-FRA and then FRA-SYD for example) or for now it's much simple to use the engine on Avianca's website. Just that it makes me wonder why I paid one year diamond membership for.
So is it a way to be able to find an award price involving two or more connections from Origin to Destination

Edit - nevermind, sorry, found it. The method should be AC-StarAlliance.

Indeed, the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine can automatically construct *A Award itineraries with up to 4 segments (3 connections):

Did I miss something? I'm trying to setup an alert for award seats on a flight. Can KVS do this? I'm reading the FAQs and other items on the web page but can't locate it.

You may be thinking of ExpertFlyer, which I know for sure does alerts.

Hi KVS,

For PG, do the KVS Tool Methods for award search apply to partner airlines? Specifically, even though I saw corresponding availability on KVS, EY couldn't pull anything up for the dates I wanted. They were able to see availability over another date, but I couldn't tell any difference from the availability buckets listed on KVS.

Have you asked the EY agent which PG Booking Class(es) they were searching for?
