It's like someone read my mind.. I was debating the same thing..
After some consideration, I am more bent towards Jet airways.. redemption on Etihad is very pricey.. and they don't give you miles for some flights booked on their own metal, because they are "low price tickets".. that really ticked me off..

i've started crediting everything to etihad now....even though jet removed yq, their mileage requirements for international business class is too high now....

I fully agree because Jet airways service standards going down. IMHO its like sinking ship & better to shift from Jetairways to etihaad.

Have you actually been able to get anything to credit from Jet to Etihad Guest lately? I've got 6 different flights pending going back to November last year where the systems seem to have totally broken down.

Indeed.. I recently fly Etihad BLR-AUH and credited the miles to Etihad, only to realize, they don't give points on their own flight for E class booking.. Jet would have given me 50%.. something is better than nothing conundrum..!!

EY for some long haul sectors have very low YQ as well along with low mile requirements. I redeemed some 70K miles and about Rs. 4k in taxes for F from Zrh to Del.
But if you are flying 9W then crediting to JP may be better off you book in higher fare classes.

Not particularly relevant, but recently took a 9W flight and put in a 9W FF number; and they hadn't credited the miles for their own metal after 8 days !
It took asking over twitter for them to get it done.
