Ideally you'd be able to type in a month and come back in a x amount of time for the results...that's something I'd pay for.

That's exactly what the [Power Search] function does.

Say I want to find TN I class LAX-PPT and can travel anytime.

The real issue is that TN is one of the 5 or so airlines that is not currently supported in the main KVS Tool application for Award Availability (out of 113+ that are supported) :

At a minimum that involves a quick next/previous day button from the search results page.

Thanks for a constructive suggestion -- we are currently looking into adding the Next/Previous Day functionality into the Mobile Companion.

Not for TN

Thanks for confirming.

You are most welcome.

We did exactly that multiple times already.

Oh, really now... care to demonstrate, perhaps, by linking me to some clear examples of where you posted such information, using universally-accepted techniques of "open communication" and "doubt resolution"? I daresay that the multiple visceral reactions by fellow DDFers to my original rant would indicate that they feel otherwise - it seems that the general consensus among... let's see...  oh, right - EVERYONE HERE!!!! is that that you have not been particularly forthcoming with straight answers.

Or are we all, collectively, insane?

We do not believe that such form of commutation would be appropriate, although we appreciate that it might be helpful for some posters.

Indeed, I'm sure you don't.

Okay, Mr. KVS. Enough bickering for now. I'll extend an olive branch, and try to be a bit more friendly.

You want constructive suggestions? How about this one... perhaps the desktop application could at least have a "launch mobile companion" button that - when clicked - launches the KVS Tool Mobile Companion website (in an already-logged-in state), with the current KVS application search parameters (airports, date, etc.) already pre-filled into the fields on the website? It would significantly ease the burden of transitioning back-and-forth between the desktop application and the website.

Why not just use ExpertFlyer? Four 1-week searches, less than 45 seconds each, and you've covered a whole month. (See screenshot.)

Mr. KVS, perhaps scalp a few design tips from ExpertFlyer, while we're at it. Their website can effortlessly search 7 days at a time, and it's really easy to change the search date...

We are already considering adding the [Mobile Companion] quick link function to the main KVS Tool application.

Please also note that you can already keep your KVS Tool Mobile Companion login state for up to 12 Months, so it is not an issue.

Find a way to make it easier to find that data. At a minimum that involves a quick next/previous day button from the search results page.

We are pleased to note that the [Previous Day]/[Next Day] buttons have now been added to the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.
