Yep - those are probably the most value-for-money redemptions of Jet points.
Using one of my examples:
- redeeming on Cathay J, BOM-HKG-BOM = 100,000 points + Rs 900
- loss of 8,000 if revenue ticket
- CX revenue ticket going for around Rs 100,000
So, 108,000/100,000 = Rs 1.08 / mile
Not nearly the best bang for the rupee.
But the sheer poetic justice from using Jet points to fly a far better airline that's their main competition on arguably one of their most successful routes for nearly no cash during the time Jet were at their stingiest worst was priceless.
