Thanks for checking! Unfortunately, that illustrates my point exactly. I can't see any QR availability in August. Your sample is for APRIL 2015.

I'm not seeing any availability for QR on major routes past ~ June 20, 2015. Is it an issue with KVS or BA Avios search tool? How many days in advance can be searched with the BA search tool?

Hello.
I'm a Diamond subscriber, I'm using it for American airlines, Availability/ETR has been suppressed. What do I do now ?

There is no issue with either -- just a simple lack of Award Availability on those dates.

354 Days.

I now have an ANA Mileage Club membership which now has a password instead of the 4 digit pin.

When I attempt to update my membership details under "settings" in KVS, it still only wants to accept a 4-digit pin. How do I fix this??

Posted this on the AA forum but wonder if this might be a better place:

trying to book flights from MSP to LHR using AA miles. May 24
KVS shows premium FS+ availability for 3 with AA to ORD (3087) and then BA to LHR (296).
When I search on AA.com they don't show premium availability and don't show this combination on economy at all.

If I call AA directly, do I have a chance of them finding this routing? or is this not really available for AA but for other Oneworld customers?
Any way to tell if this would be MileSaver or Anytime availability?

Side note: I know BA isn't my first choice due to fees but I already have flights booked with miles in economy that use BA on another route so a lateral change there. Still hoping for a non-BA route to open up but this is the first premium cabin availability I've seen open up on KVS and want to get it if I can.

Thanks for any advice

You can access both types of Award Availability via the KVS Tool:

How does one get "GTC credentials"? What is GTC?

Alternatively, is there another way in the desktop application to review AA availability?

I have the same question, although I didn't know you could get the KE award seats in the first place. Also is KVS the best tool to find one world award tickets to asia? JAL site is terrible and AA doesn't give foreign carriers I don't believe

We are aware of the KE Award Availability issue and will be looking into the possibility of introducing an alternative data source, should it persist.
