KVS sometimes doesn't tell when there is an upgrade. I'm talking when I just restarted pc, and opened KVS.

Based on the user feedback, we do not enable automatic update notifications for certain updates, particularly minors ones.

However, you can always check if a newer version is available by clicking the [Tools] button and selecting the [Check For Updates] option.

Speaking of which, KVS Tool V6.9.4 is now available for download.

Oh no, since last update I have again those FS? results with LX

Quote from: SuperFlyer on January 30, 2012, 09:53:02 AM

It did happen after specific updates (and also other times I was advised that it has to do with time-outs or so, nevertheless they seem to coincide with updates)

I believe it's an ANA/LX problem, not a KVS problem

The LX issue is just a mere co-incidence and has nothing to do with the KVS Tool Updates -- the response (whether normal or "?") is coming from LX itself.

Time-Out errors, following an update, may be related to interfering Anti-Virus software on your machine -- please see http://Errors.KVSTool.com/ for troubleshooting tips.

Not quite

, but there have, indeed, been rather high number of changes over the last couple of weeks.

Only on UA [metal]. Otherwise you have to play with the number of pax until you figure it out

The process is pretty easy (and quick, considering that Award Availability rarely exceeds 1 or 2 seats anyway

The same way you turned it on -- by clicking the [Info] checkbox.

Interesting fact:

On the ANA search LX showed as not available in First, yet I managed to grab it with UA.

Its not that it just happened to become available, as I searched again with ANA, and again with UA.

On a separate note: UA showed (not via kvs) lots of seats which in reality aren't there.

Not sure why this is here, but very interesting.

Also I've found ANA grossly inaccurate (false negative) with TK.

The data is coming directly from FB, so it can't really be "phantom" -- could you please provide a screenshot of what you see on the FB website?

They didnt specify which leg wasnt available, but even when I fed them the flight numbers, they said it was unavailable. Weird, since it shows up on a Qantas.com award search. Maybe AA doesnt have the same availability as other Oneworld partners?

Probably got an inept rep, or one that didn't realize that the flight is really JFK-MAD-BCN-TLV
