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.

VS award ticket codes

Hello-

I have searched on this forum but I did not find the award tickets reservation codes for Virgin Atlantic (VS). Does anyone know them? Also, which method is better to search for these codes (Sabre/Apollo/Amadeus etc?)

Many thanks for your answer,

Have a good day,

Mike.

Grrrr... Totally unrelated to my 'real' question, but can there please be a setting that allows KVS to spawn its own browser windows with IE? It always ends up taking something useful, this time my longwinded question!

I guess on the plus side, now I'll ask more succinctly

.

How do I get fares using AUA as the Access webpage says is accessible to Gold members? I just pulled up a random LHR-YYZ on Oct. 10, but can't see anywhere to get fare codes, prices or rules, or even put in my point of purchase.

Yup. Much shorter now

VS award booking classes are G/U/T, but they do hide them, so you cannot search for them using any of the methods.

AUA Fares can be useful for booking fares on *A carriers.

To get detailed fare listings and rules, you need to use the Sabre: Fares/DotRes method instead.

Great tool. Just one quick question. The prices quoted on Sabre Fares/Dotres - are they inclusive of all known taxes, or am to find these taxes somewhere?

Fares do not include any taxes, as they will depend on the exact routing, etc.

Sorry to be thick, but it's late at night and I just don't understand what you mean...

I agree (and mentioned) that AUA Fares would be useful. It is also listed as a Gold benefit. DotRes is a Platinum benefit. So as a Gold client, how do I access the useful AUA Fares?

Sorry for my ignorance,

I am afraid you cannot use the AUA fares features to do what you're trying to do.

Until just recently, you could have used the Sabre TCY Fares (available at the Gold level) to get fare listings, but due to the recent developments (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...&postcount=915), it will now only bring-up fares within Canada and the US.

The functionality you require is only available at the Platinum level.

Hope this helps...

I tried searching, but could not find an answer. Can I search for AA Award classes with KVS? Which level do I need to have to access this functionality?

thanks.

That's just the way Sabre-DotRes engine is retunring fares.

I am working on the next version of the Tool, which will have a new fares engine, which should show more fares when Airline=YY, e.g.:

Hi Guys,

I am viewing the seatmaps from MH(Malaysia airlines) and not sure what the code means? Can anyone help? Using the worldspan text.

Well, in this case: [A*] indicates available (non-assigned) seats, [X] indicates already assigned seats, and [L] indicates non-desirable ("low comfort") seats. UD=Upper Deck. See also the FAQ at the beginning of this thread.

For this flight, you can also see the graphical seat map using Galileo.
