9W cheap fares no longer earn you award miles
Damn, I was wondering how long it'd last.
Till quite recently, all 9W fares earned 100% award miles (but not level miles) in economy. However, 9W has had this policy of offering dirt cheap fares, that dont earn mileage on their own JPMiles program, on their website, for the last few years .. but even those were earning 100% FB miles.
AF finally caught on, I see. The "Earning Miles" section on the FB website now shows this .. note the 2nd line.
* For an individual public fare included in the program with 9W, AF or KL flight numbers, except between Delhi and Jodhpur and on international flights.
Miles may not be accrued in the following classes: P, V, D, E, G, I, K, H, O, R, X, B.
Basically anything other than full fare economy (M or Y, mostly) doesnt earn you a single mile on FB now.

Hm. With the FD -> FB move we already lost accrueing level miles on 9w as well as getting bonus miles. Good that there are more and more directly accessible destinations in India.

What are your experiences with the posting of Jet Airways flights to FB? Do they tend to take longer to post than say SU flights? I have had both recently, and the SU flights posted within 2 days, whereas the 9W flight still hasn't posted (flight was on 2 DEC).
