In the meantime, if there is a particular city pair you are interested in, just post it here and I will try to look it up for you :).

P.S. There is always this: http://www.IATA.org/ps/publications/mileage.htm :D

Yikes!! Have you seen the prices on those things? $100k for the web download? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I looked through the FAQ at the start of the thread but could not find a definite answer.

KE and AZ are the only two SkyTeam airlines, which the not supported by the [ITA: Awards/SkyTeam] Method, and I strongly suspect that that is due to their [semi-]manual handling of award bookings. See this recent thread regarding award bookings on another Asia-based carrier: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=711385

But the hard copy is "only" $5840 USD :). Here is a sample, BTW: http://www.PassengerAirTariff.com/docs/MPMBOOK.pdf

Online companion (plat) and viewing seatmaps for J/C/F
 
Hey KVS, just wondering if the above can be done - just to see the seat map of those cabins when we are away from the program on our normal access point(s) so we can choose flights to maximize our upgrade potential. Thanks, PC

Not only it can be done, but it is already done -- enjoy!

Used the tool for the first time, and I am trying to reconcile what I see when I pull up a fare on the tool with what I see when I search on Delta.com.

I pull up the following info using the tool, and it shows 9 for L and U fares. However when I pull the same info up on Delta's site, the cheapest round trip fare available is a K fare at $877. The return flight has the same availability on the fare codes as well. What gives, and what am I missing?

See the KVS Tool FAQ under "Q: Availability display shows lots of seats in fare class X for a flight between AAA and BBB, but when I try to book those flights, they book into a more expensive class Y."

You need to check the rules of the fare you are trying to book.

What kind of a problem are you having? I've just tried it and it worked fine for CX flights.

To be precise, I try CX YYZ to HKG on Oct 26 for J class seatmap. I error message come up "Unable to find request flight: Please try a different seatmap method. Flight unavailable"

After I saw your message, I tried JFK to HKG. The seatmap did come up:confused:

It was the stop (in ANC), which was causing the problem with the Galileo engine. It will be corrected in the next version. In the meantime, here is the seat map:

Bookmarking...I think I'll be asking a lot of questions about this. Thanks for posting...

Any ideas why it only shows one daily flight on the BKK-LHR sector on TG? There should be two flights a day?

On some methods if the flight is too early it doesn't pick it up. Set your "Time" to 00:00 and it will find the early ones too. Or use another method - Sabre seems to find them all.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 9:14 pm.
