How many miles in JetPrivilege account to search Jet Airways award space?
I am looking to book a flight from DEL to EWR and would like to use my United miles on Jet Airways.
However, I believe you need some number of Jet Airways miles in your JetPrivilege account before you can access the Jet Airways award search engine.
Does anyone know what the miles minimum deposit is? I could transfer some miles from Membership Rewards to get started. Also, is it safe to assume that if an award shows as available on Jet Airways, it is bookable with United miles? Thank you!

You can access the Jet Airways search engine to redeem only JP Miles in your Jet Privilege account. To redeem JP Miles you need to accumulate 3500 miles plus have 2 activities on Jet or its program partners.
To use United miles on Jet Airways, you need to contact United.

It's been sometime since I checked 9W availability with UA, but if they still need 24 hours to get a confirmation, you can call AA and check availability with them and then call UA. With AA the information is instant.
