But he cannot outright tell you to go use somebody else's credentials... all he can say is "if you search on the internet you'll find credentials that will give you access, so go search, find some credentials and put them in KVS and KVS will use them."

On one hand it is really not legitimate.

On the other hand, FTers are cheap, and we hate to pay for anything. How many of you would be happy if KVS said "ok, to use GTC you will need to buy an account for $X." Or if there is even no way to do that, and we could not get this functionality at all.

I think he's walking a very fine line, and before we criticize him too much we should think about our own interests.

KVS, I'm also disappointed and confused over this new procedure.

I played the game and submitted the requested form but got an email back saying my email address wasn't useable or some such thing.

Please forward me these new instructions on how to gain access again to availability.

Thanks,

The new email was indeed in my Spam.

I have now registered and I am back in business.

Thanks KVS. I got it to work and have it up and running with the GTC credentials. I appreciate your help but still contend that the instructions are most bizarre. The oddest part was the decoder for the 'site code' part that precedes the username in the KVS settings.

It seems to take a lot longer to return flight availability than the old methods but at least it's now working again.

Thanks to Golfmad who sent me clear instructions (still I had some problems as it is really not an easy task for non english native speakers or non IT professionals) I was eventually able to register. It works, but queries are a bit slow to get answers. But, as said, it works.

Something's wrong with KVS 7.4.6. For instance it (Availability/GTC) shows CX161 1Nov as zeroed out in S fare

But cathaypacific.com is still selling S fare - 7 seats to be precise.

Same with Mobile Companion.

Is anyone else seeing issues with [Fares/PSH]?

Losing the ability to look up the fare and routing rules for a different fare (via the [Other Fare] options) is my main concern. Perhaps I have overlooked a different way to access this capability without running a fare search first?
