Their sense of geography is quite crazy! DFW-SAN or MSP-SFO for only 2.5k!?! What are they smoking? :eek:

jet fumes ;)

:D

:D

And if they keeping dishing out these awards at 2.5k a pop, they'll probably have nothing but fumes left to carry on. Do the levy fuel surcharges at least? (even if AA etc don't on domestics....?) Wonder how much they have to reimburse the operating carrier on these...?

they have some crazy pricing....last year for a redemption ticket they wanted more in taxes than the fare united was charging for a revenue ticket....

care to post the link.. ?? (SCRATCH THAT).. I found the whole darn ppt with all the mileage requirements, blah blah.. cant figure out how old it is, but Im guessing it's current...

anyway to put it here, for others who might need it..???

Going through the same feelings..

Following up from Whizkid's post, it seems most of US and Canada are divided into 8 zones (Zone Z-15 to Z-22).. and flights within the cities in Z-15, Z-16, Z-17, Z-18 are for 5k miles, return.. but anything within the zones for others, or from one zone to the other is a flat 30k miles return..

Depending on how far u wanna fly, this can give some great value on Jet Pesos..

ah.. im getting that feeling of a day well spent..

pls share this link if possible..thanks

There you go...

Is there a way to redeem JP miles for hotel stay..????

There is also a partner redemption request page, which shows the miles required betw city pairs.

Had to do a bit of clean up above. For any questions about the how/why/when of suspensions, please have a look at Ft ToS and / or PM Babu or me for clarifications.

Thanks,

That page is source of most of our confusion and frustration....

I have hardly ever found it to work properly.

When I tried calling their US call center number to book partner awards, I was told that it was not possible to do it over the phone. I would have to send the details over email and it would take them 2-3 working days to revert back to me.
Has anyone been successful in booking the awards immediately over the phone?

i've never been able to book over the phone....i always have to fill in the form & send....or fill in the online partner redemption form which doesn't work half the time....

Not over the phone and you will likely get a call back after 7-14 days unless you follow it up with a call to them everyday.

What is the availability typically if one attempts to book a US domestic flight using JP Miles 15 days in advance??

it will take you 15-20 days to anyways hear from them. so not enough time

I emailed them 25 days ago for a domestic US redemption for May. They got back in touch with me after a few reminder emails 15 days ago with incorrect number of miles required. I asked them to check again and let me know. Still waiting.......

Does anyone know any other city pairs in the US other than the limited ones offered in their chart with the 5K RT price? What about the 1000 other cities in the USA, in general, that aren't listed on the chart? Any idea? On can theoretically get off en route in one of AAs/US Air's hubs on a one way.

just went through a fairly easy booking process for a lga-ord booking....

sent in the redemption form on sunday....got a reply on monday asking for my passport details, which i emailed right away....on wednesday i received the tentative booking asking for an approval from me to go ahead, which i again gave right away....this morning i got a call to collect the ivr payment & 5 minutes later i had the ticket in my email....

cost me inr 4,184 & 5k jp miles for one way in business....

Was quoted INR 3748 and 5000 JP miles for the same sector on UA while on AA it was a meager INR 712 + 5000 JP a few days back.

i was quoted inr 7k & 5k miles for the same sector on ua in june....

I want to use some miles for a flight from SFO to YVR on AA and since both are within one group

Denver, Minneapolis St
Pl, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver

i would expect to pay 2.5k miles and around 10$ fees, right? However, i found no direct flights from SFO to YVR on AA, so my question, is it still only 2,5k miles, even if there is a stopover at another airport, for example LAX?

Thanks!

for stopovers jet tends to price the itinerary as 2 sectors instead of one....

So in the end it might be cheaper to fly *A and United with higher taxes using a direct flight and using 2,5k miles, right?

you will end up paying less taxes even with the connecting aa flight but ua will be direct with less miles....so it all depends on how you value the time it will take to connect & the extra 2.k miles....
