Anyway, as I recall, the one bit of information I gleaned from this experience is that to use Jet miles for US domestic travel is very well worth it - it effectively doubles your Jet mile value, as compared to other redemptions on 9w or partners - maybe we can set up a comparison over time - I'm working on it!
I guess use partners have have no (or very little) YQ surcharge. E.g., AA, CX, EK, NH (relatively), etc.
