Jet Airways offers three classes of on-board accommodation: First Class, Premiere, and Economy tickets. First class air ticket holders will enjoy their own private bedroom aboard the aircraft with dual sliding doors and a seat that transforms into a bed. In addition a 5 course meal is offered paired with award winning wines and whiskeys.
Premiere class air ticket holders can enjoy lie-flat beds that are surrounded by a wall of privacy. Premiere class passengers will also enjoy a fine dining experience of various cuisines that can be ordered at any time during their flight.
Economy class air ticket holders can enjoy innovately designed reclining seats with ‘hammock’ headrests. Meals for economy class passengers are carefully designed to combine Indian and international cuisines.
Last time I was in India, overland transportation was considered dangerous — so I opted for the safest choice for my family and me. We’d heard only good things about Jet Airways, so I got on-line and booked us tickets to visit family in Goa. At Mumbai Airport, we were treated like royalty: there were seats available in the front so we got upgraded. FOR FREE! During the flight the captain got out of the cockpit and guess what — started singing Happy Birthday to my daughter, and the entire crew joined in. It was a memorable experience, and I daresay that Jet Airways is the most humane airline there is out there.
A. You can book air tickets online at their website or you can use a third-party agency like Expedia to buy the ticket for you. It is recommended that you use a third-party website as their ticket prices are often lower than the official website’s due to exclusive deals and other money-saving agreements in place between the airline and the websites.
A. Ticket holders need not do anything; the airline will announce the date and time of the replacement flight and will usually give you a partial ticket refund for the inconvenience caused (unless you are flying on a cheap ticket; some promotional class tickets have the stipulation that no refunds are to be made).
A. Unfortunately, as Jet Airways is not associated with SkyTeam or any other major airline partnership, mileage points collected on your account are not valid for tickets on any other airlines. However, JetPrivilege’s affiliates are more than enough to keep you content. To collect mileage points, simply enter your account number when booking a ticket. To find out how to sign up, approach a Jet Airways agent directly or visit their website.
JetPrivilege is Jet Airways’ frequent flyer program. Jet Airways does not operate in association with a major airline alliance, so your miles will not be valid on tickets with other airlines. JetPrivilege offers five tiers of membership: Blue, Blue Plus, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Platinum and Gold members are allowed access to Jet Airways lounges, and can be rewarded with free upgrades.
Jet Airway air ticket holders can check-in online via their website, as well as on the Jet Airways app available Google Play and the Apple app store. Please keep in mind that Jet Airways closes both physical and digital ticket check-ins 45 minutes before the actual flight.
If you prefer having your ticket printed at the airport or have check-in baggage, check-in counters are available at your local airport. Please remember be at the airport at least two or three hours before your flight to check in for international flights, and at least one and a half if domestic.
