Hi All,

Can someone please comment on my question ?

I'm wondering ... if I were to book a Jet award ticket through their Jet Privilege Online Redemption system, would they automatically place me on a waitlist ?

Also, is there any way to check ticket availability ? Can someone check the availability for the following dates, premiere class please ?

YYZ - DEL Dec 9th, 2014
DEL - YYZ Dec 24th, 2014

Thanks!

I just redeemed 2 BOM-DEL seats for 19k AI-FR Miles, for next week's flight:

Base fare per traveller: 9,500 miles
Total charges and fees per traveller: INR 1,034.00
Total per traveller: 9,500 miles + INR 1,034.00

Number of travellers: 2

Total : 19,000 miles + INR 2,068.00

The same flight is currently being sold at:

Base fare per traveller: INR 4,900.00
Total taxes per traveller: INR 389.00
Total charges and fees per traveller: INR 3,984.00
Total per traveller: INR 9,273.00

Number of travellers: 2

Total price including taxes: INR 18,546.00

Approximate redemption value: 100 AI-FR Miles = INR 86.73

9W-JP has reduced BOM-DEL redemption miles to 8500, but there was no availability for any flight post 8am for my chosen date.

I am having a tough time finding any availability on Jet for miles redemption.. ever since they have bought down the miles requirement, I think they have also clamped down on the inventory.. or is that just a one off thing I am facing ??

Interestingly enough I was looking at BKK-DEL the other day and they had something silly like 6 seats available in J. Off course its another matter that they wanted 45k per seat!

Hi All,

I was JP Plat for very long time and hence never worried about points expiring. However I shifted outside India and in the latest review in Mid-June, they have dropped my tier to Gold and suddenly I see that I have 80K points expiring on Jun 30th.

What are my options? Not planning a trip anytime soon to a JP destination. If I book a award ticket and cancel it would they keep the same expiry date? ( I guess so, they are not stupid)

Or if I book a ticket of say Delhi to some destination for next year sometime and then move it to exact date whenever plans become concrete

or trade the points? is there any platform which allows JP trading? Outside platform to friends?

or transfer points to spouse. Gives a year extra but comes at the cost

Hi Experts,
Need info on how to avoid segment points requirement if no direct flights available.

This thread seems dead. Is everyone stopped redeeming or fed up with the airlines.

Nope, both 9W and AI revert to per-segment pricing if direct flights aren't available.

Is this something new as in the past I have managed to get EK via DXB for one set of miles.

Saying that I emailed JP the other day about a partner redemption and got a accurate reply within a few hours. Shocked!

I replied back to that and they haven't replied, its been over a week so looks like it was a one off
