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.

If you call BA US, the Agent (or a supervisor) should be able to process the sale using the US POS, if specifically requested.

It appears GTC is unavailable with the demo access method. Not sure if it's a short term problem or a permanent lock out.

Any other access methods available we should explore?

is there a problem with Availability-FS? I can not return itineraries with more than one connection for my intended trip. e.g. was looking at this query: PIT-VIE Aug 27, all airlines, sort by connections, filters unchecked. Only 1-stop trips returned. I know there is a PIT-YYZ-FRA-VIE, for example, that isn't there.

And its inconsistent - PIT-PSA shows lots of 2 stop trips. PIT-FRA only 1 stop..

Ideas?

I have a simpler problem with Availability-FS. I'm looking for details for my flight Aug 8th DEL-BOM on Air India. Under the FS method my 7am flight does not show at all. It's AI 657.

However it does show under Availability-ETR.

I thought FS was the best one for general use and ETR was the one where some flights might not show if there was no availability (although there is plenty of availability on AI 657 Aug 8th at 7am).

Confused.

There is no problem with the [Availability/FS] Engine -- it can automatically build itineraries with up to 3 segments (2 connections).

A 2-connection itinerary is not optimal on a route with many single connection options available, so it will not be offered automatically (but can be searched segment-by-segment, if desired).

PIT-PSA requires 2 connections, PIT-FRA/VIE does not.

Thanks. I'll remember that for future. Out of interest, why is it necessary to set the time for some searches and not others?

BA-OneWorld not working

Getting "Data Source Error [RD-2]" while searching for intra-Europe flights to ALC, and TATL like JFK-FRA, for this upcoming weekend. Anyone else noticing issues?

thanks for the reply, re: my PIT-VIE problem. Doing individual segments isn't a huge deal, and will do so. thanks.

however one thing I did want to verify/check... you said PIT-PSA requires 2 connections, which I assumed too - but there is a PIT-JFK-PSA listed. DL 413 flies JFK-PSA , so just single connection / 2 segment itinerary shows up, yet various 2 stop (3 segments) are there too.

I would paste it in here to show, but cant figure out how to copy/paste anything from kvstool (maybe because I am emulating on a mac)?

Seeing these results is part of the reason I wondered why only the 2 segment PIT-VIE itineraries came up.

Wondering if it's possible to search for multiple destinations in KVS Award search. I want a AF/KL award ticket in YS from SFO to anywhere in Europe, but it seems it can only specify one destination airport...

Reservation systems often require time input for flights that depart early in the morning and/or late at night.
