*A Awards Not Showing Within 7 Days
 
I'm getting the *A within 7 day error. I upgraded to 5.8.0 about two weeks ago. It seems the problem may be back.

Looks like you may be using an incorrect POS setting:

Anyone else getting this error while searching for flight status via the WSpan Function?

Error Retrieving WSpan Operational Info:

It's been this way for more than a week now.

Click on the 'Reference' tab
Select the function 'Minimum Connection Time'
and type in the airport code

(Not sure what level of membership you need for this - I'm Diamond)

thank you. I'm a diamond member and followed the steps you mentioned and it shows:

what would be the standard MCT?

Please try clearing all your MSIE Cookies & Temporary Files and restarting the Tool.

If that does not resolve the issue, please e-mail a screenshot of the input parameters.

Which version of the KVS Tool are you using?

They do not show in Sabre for US. The classes are X/I/O for Y/C/F but you won't see them except for via the ANA method. If the flight doesn't show then it isn't available.

that doesn't make sense, lots of flights that have no availability do show up, why would this one in particular not show?

What's the flight #/date?

jan 3 us flight#1911 lga-phl 6am-6:57am
ua flight#2011 lga-phl 6am-6:57am

sbm12 Nov 29, 2010 4:30 pm

ANA doesn't see that flight.
http://millerworks.smugmug.com/photo...24_yvssc-M.jpg
That explains why the tool isn't showing it. Doesn't explain why they don't see it, but that's why it isn't showing up in the search.

The UA flight never will; that's just a codeshare on the US metal.

Not at all :).

This has now been confirmed to be an issue with the *A engine and/or StarNet and is likely related to the very early departure time for the flights in question...

Flight AC872 appears twice - once with no availability in classes U, H, Q, V, W, etc., and a second time with 7-9 seats in each of those classes. :confused:

Also, flight AC876 does not appear at all. Any suggestions? (... or, what am I doing wrong?)

Code:

Alternatively, after you get the [ShellExecute] error Message, goto Start -> Run and enter
"%TEMP%\$KVS_AvailabilityTool_OpenURL.htm"
Then choose your preferred browser and make sure to select the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option.

Do you know the instruction for the Mac OS X Terminal??

You can also set-up an association for .HTM files via Windows Explorer:

Try re-installing Firefox.

If that does not help, you would need to contact the developers of CrossOver for instructions on how to associate .HTM files with your preferred web browser on the virtual machine.

In the meantime, you can simply navigate to http://www.KVSTool.com/ manually.
