Hi
Getting the following message following lots of traffic on an award availability query...

Well, I tried looking for system status announcements and drew a blank - anyone got any ideas?

Must have been a transient issue with the [Awards/VS] Engine -- please try your search again and advise if the error message persists.

You don't actually need to set anything up -- the KVS Tool will automatically show an Award Calendar for VS if there is no Award Availability on the requested date.

VS had changed its Premium Economy Award Booking Class from U to P.

What classes did you come up with on the LHR-SYD-LHR route? I'm looking for the reverse route.
