[Awards/JL-OneWorld] should be able to handle a date range of up to 329 days on that route:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.4.5/Diamond - Awards/JL-OneWorld/US]
Alternatively, please use [Awards/BA-OneWorld], which has a maximum range of 354 days.

Is Awards/BA-OneWorld as accurate with award availability accessible by AA agents as JL-One World is ?

It is fairly accurate, but only [Awards/JL-OneWorld] is completely accurate for CX Award Availability.

Can someone shed any light on how accurate and live KVS info is?

Example - currently shows J9 C9 D7 R6 I4 for a flight (BA164 on 25 Oct) but British Airways insist that only D-class tickets are available?

It's not a POS or origin issue as far as I can tell - I played around with adding legs to the flight to see if it moved availability on this leg, and it remains the same.

Meanwhile the other way round, I needed I-class on BA004 on Oct 26th, saw I3, went to book, as I was on hold they all vanished, but after a bit of poking around, the nice BA lady was able to hold one for me from somewhere...

It is a POS variation -- if you would like to take advantage of the more favourable POS US R/I Availability, you would need to call BA in the US or use a US-based TA/OTA.

"Adding legs" does not change the POS.

Now the Availability/FS method is gone for good too?

Is the end near for this tool which has been such an enormous part of my travel research and planning over the last decade?

Are we supposed to use the kvstool.com/mc functionality instead now?

Regular Flight Availability is now accessible via the [Availability/GTC] Method.

For information on obtaining GTC Credentials, please submit a request via the Contact Form (if you have not done so already).

In addition, you can also use the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.

This just send a google link telling you to find a password yourself. Am I missing something here?

If you are experiencing difficulties creating your GTC account, please use http://Contact.KVSTool.com/

I'm becoming frustrated with KVS, it was bad enough when the AA search capabilities were removed, now with no way to search except via the mobile app the KVS tool is essentially useless to me.

I've wasted so much time trying to find out how to create a GTC account it's become frustratingly annoying.

On the contrary, the new [Availability/GTC] Method supports all airlines, incl. AA.

I'm sure it does, but sending a google search link does nothing to help us gain credentials. Why not provide a direct link to the sign up page so we don't have to waste valuable time????

We would like to leave the choice of a sign-up link to the user. If you are experiencing difficulties with the process, please contact us via http://Contact.KVSTool.com/ for assistance.

absolute terrible new version! desperately needing the tool I just found out it doesn't work without this GTC thing... and not even a proper explanation how to arrange a log-in on short notice. that's not what I paid for!
