New KVS user. Where can you see regular flight availability?

+1.
I for one don't plan on renewing if it's not restored. 
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Recently changed my password for ANA, input it in KVS, and then promptly forgot it.

Anyway to recover it from the bowels of KVS?

No updates at the moment, but Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.

Why can't you just make that "mobile" page available in the regular KVS application? You manage to scrape all sorts of airline websites just fine... why can't you just "scrape" your own mobile site as well? :P

It is something that has been considered, but is not currently feasible for operational reasons.

I don't plan on renewing with the availability tab either.  Mobile site is too cumbersome.

Mobile site is too cumbersome.

Would there be something in particular that you find "cumbersome"?

Is there a less "cumbersome" alternative available?

OZ741 is showing availability in J for 8/6, however when searching KVS  using Awards/StartAlliance  its showing no availability. What goes? It seems that ANA takes OZ black out dates too serious. It does not sound that OZ enforces it.

You can use the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method, which does show Award Availability during the blackout periods:
