Max is checked
Do not know if this is a new issue or a Sabre restriction

It's a limitation of the TVN engine.

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.

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

Please use the default POS option (CA-STD).

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

If I weren't so lazy I would check the Asiamiles site to see whether it's reporting F inventory on aircraft with no F, or if it's an error in the way KVS is reading the data. ;)

I've also tried all my e-mail addresses with this system code.
I don't get it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, it is a limitation of the GTC engine itself. But your concern is certainly valid and we will continue to look for a work-around.

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'm having a similar problem but I am seeing differing availability on Awards/CX vs. Awards/Oneworld. Which one should I trust?

Please see the guidelines at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...l#post15886718

However, also note that the Availability via the [Awards/CX] Method has changed since the time of your OP:

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:

KMG  Kunming CN [ZPPP]
SFO  San Francisco Intl CA US [KSFO]
SAT  18 Jun 2011

Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive    A/C  St  Availability
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  -----------------------------------------------------------
CX        6721    KMG  15:20    HKG  17:35    320  0  J4 C4 D4 I4 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q9 O0
 -> CX    872    HKG  00:30 +1  SFO  22:00    744  0  F4 A4 J8 C8 D7 I7 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q9 O0

[KVS Availability Tool 6.0.9/Diamond - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/US]
Code:

KMG  Kunming CN [ZPPP]
SFO  San Francisco Intl CA US [KSFO]
SAT  18 Jun 2011 | FRI  24 Jun 2011 | R/T | Economy

Carrier    From    To    Fare      Cur                      Fare Basis/TD
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  -------------
CX        KMG    SFO      3142  USD                      YX2R
CX        KMG    SFO      3220  USD                      BHWAP

I want to book it in H, but all I get are the Y and B fares. On CX's site I can book it in H for $1576...

Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks!
