Increase in online upgrade fee
Seems jet has increased it from INR 2k (around 2 months back) to 3k now. I regularly used to upgrade myself on BOM-BLR-BOM sector by paying 2100 (inc. taxes), but 3k seems a bit too much for a 1.5 hr flight.. Today, I was also offered upgrade on DEL-PAT flight but did not opt for it..

alternatively you can try your luck at the airport as well....ask them if there is availability & if there is then just pay the upgrade fee....

i usually do it with award tickets....if you see availability in business then just book economy & call them up to upgrade you....they will hold your booking in business for a period of 24 hours & you can pay the upgrade fee either at the city office or at the airport....

What if I have a revenue ticket, can I still upgrade at this price or then I have to shell out miles ?

I meant online upgrade on revenue tickets, not on award tickets. A lot of times, I see this option flashing in Manage my Booking, for the BOM-BLR and BLR-BOM sectors that I fly often. Earlier it used to be INR 2000 per sector, but now it is 3000.
