Jet airways

However I couldn't find any corroborating information on Jet's website. Not sure if the guy was taking me for a ride or not.
fare; $135 one way all in
Appears to me to be a clueless character, based on what he stated - but you never know! (It might be valid!
)
You were correct in attempting to ascertain the facts.
However, if they are willing to annotate the PNR - as you would be doing it through their call center, I would book it then. Cheaper anyway.
If you do it, call back again with another agent to see if they did the notation, else cancel.

Total fare; $CAD 257 for cheapest economy and $287 for higher economy.
Best option would be jet but not sure how accurate the guys info was.
More bizarre information, but hey - it's India!
