I am looking to upgrade my current HDFC card. I have two options – either upgrade to no-fee JP Platinum card, or ₹2500/year Diners Premium. The purpose of this card will be lounge access, and Mumbai is my home airport. I mainly fly to Bangalore, Chennai & Delhi. Which of these two cards is better for lounge access at these 4 airports?

I just checked that only international departures of Chennai and Bangalore have mastercard accessible lounges while there are domestic departure lounges for Diners Club.
Also wondering if Rewardz card would make more sense since I guess there isn't any difference between the lounge access entitlements.

Hi to all.
A random question.
I have a booking on 9w on domestic network next month. I am less likely to travel on that booking though.
Since that is a non refundable and non changeable ticket, if I cancel it I would only get taxes back(INR 900).
Now I am thinking about not to cancel that booking and earn some jpmiles out of it. I would check in online but do not board plane at all( I mean I would not go to airport at all). I would get 1000 miles for that flight.
But I am concerned about whether they credit miles for gate no-show passenger or not. Further is spending around INR 1k for 1k jpmiles a good deal? I am not a frequent traveler and have hardly 7-8k of jpmiles in my account.
This is my first post in FT. I welcome all sorts of comments and suggestion.

I believe that if one does not show up in the gate the passenger is considered to be offloaded and hence one will not get miles for the sector one has not flown.

This is the case with every single FF program out there. I am not aware of a single one that offers miles for no show's.

did you look at the one where JP considers "Attempting to earn JPMiles for Sectors that have not been flown or are not eligible for JPMiles" as Fraud?

Ok thanks for clarification. I thought airlines consider checked in passengerd as flown and credit miles immediately after check in.
