(whats the point of waiting 30 minutes on the phone for that!) - Advised that i can reinstate the ticket for 150RS whenever i want as long as the route stays the same as currently i have a ticket but no confirmed seat. (ok, thats good, i can travel if i change my mind) - advised that 150Rs may NOT apply as i am in UK (whoopee, no fee!) - advised that to get my 2000RS taxes and fees i have to go to airport counter(..., are you serious!) - Advised that to get a refund on my card, i have to pay £4.50 for the pleasure (no problem but why can't they just deduct 4.50 from the refund?) - Advised that the agents name was Lisa and i should have a great day and thanking me for calling Jet Airways (go Eff yourself, i only called you because your website is crap!) What a palava! What did you end up doing? |

Ouch. Sounds like JetChild was making it up as the conversation went along!
What did you end up doing? It is annoying how easy it is to purchase a ticket on the Jet website (in fact its one of the best for bookings) but incredibly tedious to get a refund on the same ticket!!!! |
Hmm, OK. No 150 INR charge for cx if you are in UK, but they want to charge 4.50 GBP for a refund? Of 2000 INR? And you have to go to LHR for this? :rolleyes:

Regarding Jet Privilege Silver ?
I have been a JP member for 7 years, but given my varied flying pattern, I never managed to reach anything above Blue Plus with them.. Now I have the option of going on a MR in April for 1-3 flights (depending on how much I end up doing in March, due to work).. I am just wondering is it worth the money/ trouble ? Also, if I complete 14 flights with them in the 6 month period, and I write to them, would they change me to silver, given my association with the program for 7 years ? |

That makes one of us. I sincerely hope that Kingfisher gets killed and is never heard of again. It's a disgrace to the Indian aviation industry.
And there we go with the statement corrected, with just one word changed! :p |

It occurred to me afterwards that perhaps I should back up my claims. Especially when disagreeing with a lawyer ;)
Why Air India is not a disgrace: 1) If it were a disgrace, it would not serve rave-worthy Dosas in economy class on a 1 hour flight for breakfast. There is no other airline out there where breakfast is better on a plane than in the kitchen. In comparison, you can look at Kingfisher:

- No Champagne anymore. Forget Dom, not even any sparkling wine! - Only KF beer and White and McKay whiskey being served. - The bar no longer open on the flight - When my colleague insisted on a different whisky they opened a bottle of duty free black label after a long heated debate - No table cloth laid for dinner - No snacks, only pop corn. - Flight in biz was empty and when I asked for a second helping of ice cream was told its over. |
