Max is checked Do not know if this is a new issue or a Sabre restriction If the Max option is activated and you still don't see the fare(s) you are interested in, then you would need to switch to one of the other Fare Methods, such as DotRes or PSH. |

Oh... need to clarify.
It's NOT working with the POS: set to CA-SP1 (which I don't think is the default, but I tried it to see if there was any difference when I last had problem). It IS working with POS: set to CA-SP1

You are right. CA-SP1 does not work
CA-SP1 should only be used if the default POS option does not work: http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Method_Sabre_Fares_TVN |

Interesting.
I haven't compared to the Asiamiles website. But checking CX awards on KVS I'm getting F availability on aircraft without an F cabin. [KVS Availability Tool 6.0.7/Diamond - Amadeus: Awards/CX] Code:

I obviously have a user name. I also have a S-00000XXX desktop system code. However, the MC repeatedly tells me incorrect username/password. I've also tried all my e-mail addresses with this system code. I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi! KVS is confusing VLC with VLN:

Wondering if you could work on an other option for a more reliable primary search tool, Sabre/GTC is always giving errors and won't display anything within 4 hours, and Sabre/FC is unreliable as hell, and at times only shows a maximum of 4s as oppose to 9s on major US carriers. I can understand if the other specialty tools are a bit clitchy at times but the the availabiility tool? come on that's the name of the program for god sakes.
If its not to much to ask, I was wondering if i could have a PM for the response. |

"To check availability for a same-day departure, the [Time:] setting must be set at least 4 hours ahead of the current time (e.g. if the current time is 10:30, enter 15:00). Nevertheless, results will include all remaining flights, including those that are scheduled to depart within this 4-hour time window."

And yes, we are continually looking for additional sources. |
Anyone else getting Data Source errors when checking availability on Galileo?

Actually, it will -- as mentioned in the KVS Tool User Guide for the [GTC] Method:
"To check availability for a same-day departure, the [Time:] setting must be set at least 4 hours ahead of the current time (e.g. if the current time is 10:30, enter 15:00). Nevertheless, results will include all remaining flights, including those that are scheduled to depart within this 4-hour time window."

Yeah but what about the last 4 hours of the day, I've try setting for 02:00 the next day but that excludes anything on the current day, and I've tried changing time zones, but that doesn't work either. Like I said before, the specialty tools I don't mind glitching from time to time (in fact I think you do a very good job when that happens), but the primary availability tools I use and rely on very often, and i think other users would agree with me that its a huge inconvenience when it doesn't work the way it's suppose to.
In the meantime, please use one of other Availability Methods or the Mobile Companion in the situations described.

Hi there,
I'm seeing some inconsistencies seeing CX award availability on the KVS tool, via the Amadeus: Awards/OneWorld Method (I'm a Diamond member) - For example, searching 2 First awards from SFO to HKG on November 2, 2011: KVS returns nonstop availability on CX879 (12:50pm to 6:45pm + 1). However, the BA website and AwardNexus are reporting that CX873 (1:05am to 6:45am + 1) has 2 First seats available too. Come to think of it, KVS hasn't shown me any availability on this CX873 flight even though I know some dates are available. Do you know what's going on? Thanks. |

I really lke the new BA award link up that you're using for extended OW availability in the Beta. It beats the heck out of walking thru repeated searches on the BA site!

Hi,
I am new to KVS so please forgive my ignorance if this has already been answered (I did search the thread)... I found availability on a particular route/farebucket combo, and I can buy it on the airline's website, but KVS can't seem to find a fare for it: [KVS Availability Tool 6.0.9/Diamond - Sabre: Availability/GTC/US-LTR] Code:
