yep, it works wonders especially for excess baggage, ive hardly ever flown with Jet but it has worked with BA, Virgin and Qatar! I travel 1-2 per month from LHR and i usually go and speak with staff personally at check in, i remember their names and write in good letters about them, and buy them bottles of chivas from duty free! Every little helps, its surprising how a little friendliness will get you in India!

also cash at check in is good: an average agent gets paid Rs15000 per month, you offer them $100 thats like Rs4000, a third of there salary! It certainly makes your journey through the airport much easier!

It may not be moral but with widespread corruption in all levels of indian society, why not use it for your own benefit every now and then!
