This is incredible. Hope we all don't crash the system. I guess we should all be conservative in our use of this new tool. I only plan to use it to plan out trips for upgrades. Won't bother using it just to check loads.
Thanks again KVS ^

Can you save a registration code for me? 
My Thinkpad is getting serviced now and I don't want to install anything on the current computer as it's not mine.
Job well done based on the screenshot! ^

Thank you KVS for making it available. But, when I click on the hyperlink that is on your hosting site to download the zip file nothing happens. Any help is appreciated.

My only concern is that heavy usage may bring the underlying data source down, so, for now, it will require per-user registration: Once installed and launched for the 1st time, your numeric System Code will appear on the screen. Send it to me via a private FT message and I will send you back your registration code.
Just a few words about it:

Just a few words about it:
- Only classes available through the Galileo GDS will be shown
- The tool is quite intelligent when it comes to interpreting the input data
- The current version does not support the use of Proxy servers
- If flight connections are listed incorrectly, make sure that the 1st class in your list is valid on all segments, i.e. enter YFC instead of FCY

How is this availability tool similar or different from the:
http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~hartberg/ft/SabretoolSetup.exe.
Since the German "aeroplan" tool became inaccessible to the general FT audience, I have generally used AMEX ITN, for seat availability. I have not needed to look for award availability, as a SE from the beginning of this year, I can over come capacity controls (ie instant KKs).
How is the New KVS tool compare with ITN, or the above Sabre tool, in terms of revenue classes? Neither the Sabre tool nor ITN give award seat availability, the only tool to look for D or W seats is the above sabre tool?
