I am trying to price out a ticket from DEL to EWR with Jet miles.. I can see from the redemption page that it would cost me 47000 in eco and 94 in business and the corresponding tax..
but for partner airlines, there is no good way to figure out the tax.. I want to know how much will it cost for a partner redemption.. their chart says 55k miles for eco, but no tax component is mentioned..
does any have a clue.. and how many miles they want for a business redemption on a partner..??

Business will be double. If chart says 55k then it will be 110k return for business. Best way to find out cost of taxes is by using this site. Plug in the same flights you want and see what tax on a paid ticket will cost. 9W is a bit nuts now days so sometimes they like to make up their own taxes but I have always got taxes to match this site for all their redemption's.

They do. Only certain routes/airlines don't have fuel surcharges. I just ticketed a EK redemption for only Rs2500 taxes. The same redemption from a different city an hour away had $250 YQ on it. I checked ITA to see if YQ was added on the routing I was after.
But yes they do.

I just did one and was quoted YQ on EK so changed the city to one that they don't charge YQ from. Maybe its region specific.

In case anyone interested, I DID get a one-way upgrade (what they now call 'upsell' ) from economy to premier on Jet airways. I paid £699+ £4.50 creditcard charge. This is in contrary to the 'list' what onlysuites posted earlier.
a) I am not a jet privilage member
b) I do not have any relatives working for Jet
b) First time I am flying jet airways !

Upgrade offered to DXB..
I flew three weeks back on LHR-DEL and asked for paid upgrade to First from Premiere and was given a what are you talking about look. I saw the station manager afterwards and she told me that they have stopped all paid upgrades. A operational one is likely in case of over booking but then the pecking order is normally
1. Members of staff
2. Direct family of staff
3. In direct Family of staff
4. House help of staff who are travelling
5. Platinum
6. Gold
7. Silver
8. Bronze
9. Then you would come into it.

An upgrade was offered to me from DEL->DXB for INR 6500. This was from
cheap economy (S) to Business class..
So upgrades in certain sectors are still offered. Inbound from DXB to DEL
was a Op-Up from Economy (W) class to Business and I do not have any status with 9W :-)
F.A.

What route did you fly on? You mention £'s so could be LHR-India? This must be something new as I flew this route last month and was told no paid upgrades are available unless you pay difference between your fare and Business which is what you must have done? How much was your original Y ticket?
