JP Miles Partner Redemption
Hi,
Need some advice, I was looking to redeem JP miles to book BOM-LHR-BOM on 9W in Y, their website was showing the cost as 85k miles + ~INR 17k in taxes. I am not sure if it is worth it considering the taxes. Is there a better alternative to redeem with a partner airline on this sector, say Virgin or UA? Thanks. |
I think JP has (had?) a clause that says that you can't redeem on partner airlines on routes where Jet operates their own flights. I'm sure someone else here will be able to confirm/deny.

Not sure about the 9W rule but 17k for an LHR return is a pretty good deal. The taxes in and esp. out of UK are horrible.

agreed....in the past i used to take an extra flight from lhr-bru & spend the night in a hotel there just to save on the insane uk taxes....even with the flight & hotel it still came out a lot cheaper to fly out of bru instead....<br /><br />considering this, inr 17k for uk taxes is not a bad deal....

There doesn't seem to be a rule explicitly disallowing same-route partner redemptions, but the JP website does not offer any of the same routes in the drop down list when you check for partner award redemption.
Once again not sure about Jet policies but most airlines that allow online awards booking for partners will show routes on their metal first (no matter how many more stops / time it takes) and show partner options (even if they’re direct and faster) last. So partner bookings on their routes are always allowed - but that’s for the big 3 alliances. Jet may have different rules but I’ve never heard of this being the case. |

jet do have this rule in place & have had so for as long as i can remember....i've tried in the past to book award tickets on partner airlines on routes like del-dxb & del-lhr but jet wouldn't allow it saying that they don't allow their own miles to be used on routes that they operate on themselves....
Why would one credit miles to 9W? Unaware of options, trying for status (should be handful of people)? |

not correct. I know of people who have booked DEL-LHR on VS on JPMiles
Maybe it just needs to be on a date where there is no availability on the Jet flight..... |

Ditto - I've been presented with partner redemption itineraries on EK in the past where they've said that I'd need to make other arrangements for the BOM-DXB leg, since Jet operates their own flights on that route.

Similarly right now with CX you can not earn and burn on HKG-India routes. Other than CX(EK-JP partnership has ended) you can earn and burn on other carriers same routes as 9W. Like DEL-LHR on VS, India-AUH on EY. |

That was because the 9W-EK tie up specifically said you cannot earn and burn JP Miles on EK's india sectors.
