KVS Availability Tool

FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Xyzzy
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 checked with Amadeus: AUA as recommended:

This also matches up with results from EF...not sure what the agent was on but i'll have what they were having.

Anyone else getting a blank result when using the Sabre tool to check for fares?
The tool connects and "transfers data", but doesn't show any results.

Yeah, and them two seats would be full fare 1st seats so i doubt you could use miles to upgrade against them. In fact the flight is probably fully sold out and them two seats are available as airlines often over book against no shows.

Dl 5104 (cvg-aus) 1/27

Hi,

I just downloaded the KVS tool, but don't have a registration code yet. Could someone please check the availability for DL 5104 (CVG-AUS) on this Friday, Jan 27th @ 6 pm please, in all fare classes. We don't have seat assignments yet, and all the seats are taken on the seatmaps on delta.com, so I'm wondering if it's oversold.


Thanks!

Rob

Thanks for checking for me dcgators! I guess I'll go ahead and book a 4* hotel on Priceline then. We were hoping for a bump, but now I'm not as worried about eating the $$ for the room, since it doesn't look as likely.
