Isn't that a disastrous heading?
What am I missing here?
if you go on the 'online partner redemption' page on the jet site, you can see the option of putting in different routes to see how much miles are required....most of the popular routes are 15k miles but there are a lot that are also 10k, 5k & as low as 2.5k....

A paid transcon trip on a Jet Airlines American partner will net you more than twice that many miles. I wonder about the "Buy one and get two free" logic. How does Jet intend to pay for these It's an excellent deal though.
Evidently not many JP members know about this. Having been with US, AA and UA at various times I finally settled with NW and now delta over a decade ago. Sometimes I have to fly other airlines. Those orphaned miles die as I just don't feel like taking the time to juggle my miles. Life is too short to be juggling miles.

Come to think of it, isn't it immaterial whether UA has one way award. You are redeeming JP miles, if JP allows one way awards, it can ask for one way ticket.

You cannot get a transcon for 2.5k miles. The routes which cost 2.5k miles are generally short.

I misread LGA-ORD&PDX-LAX as transcon. Regardless a transcon is not typically 10 times the price of LGA-ORD, or even PDX-LAX.

I don't know about that. PVD-EWR (random example) can usually had for $39 or $49 each way with advanced purchase... A transcon from PVD is usually $200+ each way.

So the transcon is roughly 4-5x more expensive than the short hop. Similarly, a 12.5k mile transcon is 5x more expensive than a 2.5k short hop.

This is a very specific example, but pricing doesn't look too wacky..

Are you talking about 1984? One might find the fares you have quoted above but are not "usual" fares for the route. Shuttles are another matter.

But what is it you are trying to say? That 2.5k is not a fantastic deal?

All partner awards to be booked on phone or thru downloading the request form on the website and then sending it across to JP. Response received by email usually.
