I never asked, as I usually fly in J or F, and sometimes hold seats in all cabins at the same time on this sector. (Y, C, F - confirmed in advance as well! 
)
+1.
30k miles or INR?
Btw, what's the mileage requirement for an upgrade from J to F these days on India-LHR?

Folks,
Just to summarise this 5 page discussion thread....
It appears like I'm the only customer that was offered a cash based upsell in the recent times based on numerous post, experiences and replies(and pm msgs too)
So just in case you did not get an upsell, before you pick a fight with the jet staff consider it is may be due to one or more of below, .
a) upsell/upgrade not available or offered for the flight
b) you are not a segmented customer holding an upsellable ticket
c) reasons JET only knows( internal family matters maybe as someone posted earlier)
Happy jetsetting!!

Another data point that shows Jet doesn't know what they are doing, flew PNQ-DEL and was not offered a upgrade where as my colleague flying on same flight but who checked in after me was offered a 2k upgrade on a paid seat.
I really don't understand.

just to give you another example, my colleague & i flew bom-del last evening....i was in business & he was in economy....i asked for an upsell for him at ticketing when we got to the airport & they said they were not offering it....
no it was not & i can't even remember the last time it was offered to me....to top things off, economy just had a couple of empty seats & business was half empty....
his ticket was bought in 'm' class on the day of travel....this is one of the higher economy classes & is eligible for all upgrades....on top of that he is also a platinum member....
this is how they work....internal family matters is why this airline is going from bad to worse....

Happened to me too.. My friend who is JP Gold was offered an upsell and I'm Plat and it wasn't offered to me. Same flight, same booking class.

Surprise to see this thread is still live....
After the recent Jet-Etihad deal, and they have plans to operationally integrate, consolidate and rationalise operations, and this includes sectors/routing, ticketing, ground handling, and excess capacity reduction. Otherwise there is no way it is going to bring value to JET's shareholders especially when Indian airline companies are facing severe rough weather in both domestic and international sectors.

on our way back a couple of days later he went to check-in to inquire about the upsell & was told check-in can't do that & they would have to check with ticketing....ticketing refused saying that there was no upsell on this flight....so he ended up traveling in economy & business was again almost full....this time there were 2 empty seats....
by the way, has anyone tried an upsell on a del-dxb or del-auh flight????any idea how much it costs????

i have a theory on upsell issue. maybe they dont give it to frequent travellers who anyway travel mostly in business. because if they do, then they will make this a regular feature and no one will buy their J product and everyone will go for the upgrade.
however, for people travelling for the first time, or not regularly, maybe its a feature jet have where they let the passengers try their business class product a couple of times for a cheaper price than a J product, so that incase they like it, they purchase the J ticket the next time. and once you have tried the upsell a few times, they stop giving it to you.
what do you guys think?
