KVS Tool members continue to enjoy the most comprehensive award availability coverage across all 3 global airline alliances (including a 100% Star Alliance award coverage as of V5.4.0).

While the proposed 'alerting' functionality is not currently 'compatible' with the above for a number of policy and technical-related reasons, it only takes a few mouse-clicks to periodically re-check availability after adding the relevant route details to [My Trips]...

Please see http://Help.KVSTool.com

So I looked at the help page and I found:

"@" = On request/waitlist (applicable to NH/OZ flights only)

What does on request typically mean?

It means that the system cannot provide a definitive response regarding availability -- you need to request (book) a seat and wait for a response (which can take anywhere from 72 seconds to 72 hours).

New to the tool
 

Hi, I'm new to the tool but really liking what I'm seeing.

I hope someone can help me with this. I was looking for low roundtrip fares between Orlando (MCO) and London (LHR) for the dates April 22nd to April 29th being the return. I entered this in using Sabre DotRes and got the following:

Continental - $398 on fare basis LKWNC42S

Well, I went to the continental website and entered the dates but did not get that same fare. Am I doing something wrong here? I tried to follow the fare rules and work with that, but to no luck. Please advise so I know what I'm doing and what I can do to rectify.

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

If you double-click this Fare Basis and select Find Flights Using This Fare [ITA], you will see that the total would be $793 (= $398 Base Fare + $222 Fuel Surcharge + $173 Taxes).

Dear KVS!

Does the Galileo source alllow to extend the availability information for direct access airlines to waiting lists (ie Y9 ML UC on LH instead of Y9 M0 U0)?

What about other availability methods? That would be useful for those who is trying to figure out whether there are chances of getting cheaper travel.

Waitlist availability status information is expected to be accessible via in the KVS Tool Mobile Companion, which coming soon...

5.4.1?
 

Should we be downloading/update 5.4.1?
No info available, yet.

V5.4.1 is a hotfix for [Awards/Upgrades/X1], so if you are using that Method, then you should definitely upgrade. Otherwise, it is optional.

registered but need registation info

upgrading to diamond from plat
 

do we get charged for the full $75 or the difference? I just got this thing less than 24 hours ago and would like to upg, but not sure if its going to charge me 75 or $15.....

Please goto http://Upgrade.KVSTool.com/ and select the 2M Diamond option.

2 mths??? but i want it for a year...I just got it last night...sheesh...theres no option to upg to the highest tier and just pay the difference?

trying to find out the total fare for this :
CO PDX to ORL $218USD 7 Days LA7BSN -30 Oct

Not to worry -- you will get Diamond for 12.8M.

Pls see http://FAQ.KVSTool.com

yeah i looked there...which is why I need the diamond

Q: How can I calculate taxes/fees/surcharges?
A:To calculate taxes and surcharges for a specific fare via ITA, please follow the instructions for the [ITA Query Builder] in the Additional Features section above.

thats a feature for the diamond....am I not right?

didnt answer my question Sir......I realize I will get diamond...but I will also get charged $75...not $15....yes?

You can only be charged the selected amount, so if you select the 2M Diamond option (as previously suggested), you will only be charged $20.

The Sabre Fares TVN 330 day issue is back, again.
I deleted the Travleocity Cookie and it worked

Does the tool allow you to see all flights from a given city on a day? Or let you know when certain flights operate?

Yes, and maybe (there is NO notifications - u need to look/search)

Yes, just noted this as well under new v.5.4.1

--mcz

Good news. LX availability is now under the StarAlliance Awards section rather than having to use the M&M section. This is because ANA have included LX in their search capabilities. ^

Ah, very nice.

I also noticed that FM and CA are showing up now. I have been searching for about 2 weeks for a flight and they never showed up. Then bam, a couple of days ago they were in every search I was doing.

Can not get Sabre Fares/TVN to work at all today
330 day issue, again

330 day error Sabre Fares TVN
 

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I just got the tool last weekend and was all set to use it again and I got this. I tried deleting all my cookies but still got the error

Yes, this is available via the [Timetable] section in the KVS Tool.

Fares/TVN 330-Day Issue
 

A work-around has just been implemented in V5.4.2, which is now available for download at www.KVSTool.com

^

Does the tool show seatmaps for all classes of travel on SQ?

Help -5.4.2 download - wrong rev
 

If you download 5.4.2 from kvstool.com home page the download and run and load is OK. But you end up with a version 5.4.1.

The issue has just been corrected. Please try downloading again, after clearing your browser's cache.

You can access SQ seats maps for R, F, and C cabins. SQ Y cabin maps do not exist.

Resolved Download of 5.4.2 and Fares/TVN 330 day issue

T H A N K S

It exists, of course. Not provided to agents though. Reservations made on SQ website are allowed to access the Y seatmap.

Is there any information left in the transformation process that is not shown in KVS? I would personally be interested in fare creation (system date) which one can get from Expedia.

All currently-available fare information is already being displayed.
