I was a college student back then (I still am, doing my Masters!! ) and used to do Mileage runs, just for the elite status. As most of you, FTers are well aware of, I guess, earning miles and points on Jet Airways is somewhat tough/difficult, compared to some US-based carriers (that's from my, a college student's experience, I might be wrong, though !!). Anyways, I have always found the service, and the guest-care of Jet-Airways, to be impeccable, and really good !!!

However, I started this thread, as I wanted to know, if there are other FTers, like me, who are Jet-Airways elite, and had a really hard time booking award tickets/upgrades ?? I had numerous encounters like this, and I will be posting all of that soon enough !!!

P.S.: This is my first post/thread on FT !!! Hope you guys enjoy my threads/comments/pictures !!!!

as mr. bean pointed out, there are a number of threads that already exist on the topics you brought up in your post....it would be a good idea to search before starting a new thread as too many threads on the same topic won't help anyone....

welcome to ft & hope to see more of you here....
