one more thing....while all fares on jet konnect are eligible for points & flight count towards tier status, only certain fares on jet lite count towards tier status or get you points....

Temporary? It's the new normal.

Receiving points/miles aside, is the experience in economy the same for Jet Konnect and Jet Lite?

What about checked luggage allowance? Is one better than the other when connecting international to domestic (not on same reservation)?

It's been 5 years since I have personally flown 9W domestic and the experience back then was very positive. Sounds like LCC model has also come to India.

the experience on jet konnect is better, but only slightly....i tend to get the feeling that jet konnect is using new aircrafts, but i may be wrong here....

luggage allowance is the same....again, there would be no difference when making a connection....

They have marketed it as a special offer up to 31st July 2010 but I reckon its a trial to test the waters to see if those who switched to Kingclub return.

At least some respite from the eradication of FF privileges on 9W.
Followup question to the above mentioned lounge access promo. I'm still a measly blue plus, but have the Jet/citibank platinum credit card. According to the promo details-- i should be able to gain access to the lounge whilst flying Konnect.

But on Jet's lounge info on the website: http://www.jetairways.com/EN/IN/Prod...rtLounges.aspx

The info for delhi (where I'll depart from) says access is only for Premiere customers.

Will I be unable to use the lounge acccess offer in Delhi with my Jet/citi plat card?

You can try!

Ask at check-in - that's where they hand out the lounge invitations...

Well, the lounge access was a minor success. I ended up getting access to The Fresco restaurant, rather than the Plaza lounge-- as I had hoped.

There was complimentary buffet, which was decent. However, no comfortable seating or work area.

Congrats!

Haven't flown much to DEL lately, so cannot comment on the difference in the "new" airport...
