Difficulty checking award ticket availabilty
 

Using the terrific KVS Availability Tool (thanks so much, KVS), I am trying to check the availability of F and C/J awards on NZ. Using version 1.64, my fellow FTer, taupo, is able to do this. I, however, using version 1.2.9 am not.

Does anyone have experience with this?

It is likely that the NZ award classes you want are not available through ITN.

"1.64" is the current version of the "other" tool by smile67, which is also being referred to as "the tool" on FT :)

Thanks for clearing that up for me, KVS. I'll still be using your app. for other purposes, and I thank you for offering it to us FTers.

How long does it take to get a reply for the code?

When was the last time you contributed to the ac forum? ;)

umm, i considered buying a HKG ticket on AC instead of UA once. but we're all members of *A so that should count for something... right?? :confused:

OK I am going to DEL and need more seat info... Can I have a code please

When flying AC they still want the customer to suffer, untill 7 days before for an upgrade. :(

Well, it all depends... YYCOllie mentioned one of the factors. The wording of a request can also make a difference; your version (
) did not score very high :).

Please take a look at my 1st post in this thread for registration instructions [http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...33&postcount=1].

FAQ: What's the "class" field for?
 

I've recently received this question from a user:

Q: What's the "class" field for (when searching using ITN)?

A: Class selection in ITN mode serves two purposes:

1. It affects the order in which flights are listed in situations where a cabin class is completely sold-out.
2. It is used to provide an appropriate seat map when using the "Book Segment/Seat Map" function.

Hello KVS and everyone,

I still cannot find the main post about Galileo's special registration and I still dont understand what it is. I need to know what it is. How come I cannot access the Galileo's special registration? Has anyone been use Galileo in KVS tool?

Thanks

See post #29 in this thread.

Just one comment when using it to query BA flights. BA has 4 travel classes, Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First. When the results are shown, it goes from Busines to Economy. i.e. J C D I, then Y B H. BA has W and T (the fare buckets for Premium Economy) in between. Virgin Atlantic, also has a Premium Economy class, and those fare buckets aren't displayed either. I suspect it's a limitation of the underlying booking engine, rather than the tool itself, but thought I should bring it up.

And many thanks for making an excellent tool available to the FT community.

BA Availability & ITN
 

It is indeed a limitation of the ITN engine. However, it appears that:

• First Class is shown (e.g. BA92 YYZ-LHR includes F/A availability).
• Using ITN/UA access method will bring up additional Y-subclasses (e.g. V/N/L/S/Q/O) not shown when using ITN/AX.
