Jet Airways USA website versus India Website
I just checked a one way fare inside India and I get two different prices with USA website price triple the cost of the price on the India website? Anyone seen this before? Is it okay to book through India website in Indian Rupee?

It is not a matter of respecting or loving an airline. All airlines have dozens upon dozens of fares---and yes, they depend on "sales city" too among other things. I am in the USA but I have purchased AA tickets from AA's site in Germany when it was cheaper to do so. It is just business, a very complex one. You have a lot of fares in front of you: pick the one you like (along with its conditions).
Kudos to you for checking alternate Indian carriers like Indigo that are not offered by most US sites. You did the right thing. Just that there is no need to react emotionally.

indigo does not have a us presence....if they did then they might be doing the same thing....no airline is better than the other in this regard....

kayak.in
ixigo.com
expedia.in
makemytrip.com (choose India in upper right corner)
cleartrip.com (choose India in upper right corner)
yatra.com (skip their offer to take you to the US portal!)
I have a few more but this would be a good core list. Once you find a flight, you'll need to decide whether to buy directly from the airline or from a TA. Good luck!
