if you want to redeem miles on jet airways, i say stick the miles on AAdvantage. its much better value.

I got a LHR-BOM First Class Rtn booked on Jet Airways.

Total cost: 80K AA miles + £117.20 (£102.20 taxes + £15 Reservation Fee)

also notice that booking through AAdvantage also means no Fuel Surcharge is added.

How comes if you buy a 9W ticket and credit to 9W you get only 25% but if you credit to AA or UA, you get 50%.

So if your a discount economy ticket traveller, if you credit to AA, you accumalate at a faster rate and also have lower redemption rates! a win win situation!

just to make sure i have not screwed up the maths, can someone please price up a lhr-bom F class itinerary using JPmiles giving the amount of miles required and taxes/surcharges. I dont have any miles in JetPrivilige so i cant even make a dummy booking! thanks in advance!
