Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles and Even More

Jet Privilege, the mileage program of Jet Airways, already has several tie ups with partners, that enable members to earn JP miles on purchases or other transactions with them.

You can now earn JP miles for your purchases with Flipkart, going up to 16 JP miles per Rs 100 spent on such purchases. Here’s how you can earn those extra miles, and a pro-tip.

That one time when Jet Airways broke the rules…to help me out!

Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles & Even More

Many of us (and myself included) aren’t a happy lot with much of the changes Jet Airways is bringing about to the JP program. That said, I must admit (if it wasn’t apparent already), that I’m a pretty big fan of the airline and of Jet Privilege. Sure, they’ve made some flier-unfriendly changes, including Fare Choices, making JP pretty much a revenue-based frequent flier program, or the changes to partner award structures. Gone are the days of some fantastically awesome award routes for unbelievably low redemption requirements. But as with any and every other business, Jet simply reacted to the changes in the marketplace, and will continue to do so in the future.

And yet, in this post, I’d like to write about what I thought was a very “human” side of the airline.

2 billion JP miles for an Award Ticket??? And some crazy math to boot!

Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles & Even More

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Vinay and I were thinking of trying out First Class on Jet Airways Mumbai to Amsterdam, once they change the configuration from the A330 they’re currently flying, to the B777 (the change is expected to take effect from 30 October 2016). So we were looking for award ticket availability, when we found this gem.

Would you believe the cost of the award ticket is…2.1 billion JP miles?
