Like I wrote a few days back, the last minute fares were as high as Rs. Jet Airways was presented with a voucher, and they’d eventually had me sitting in the front after a gate upgrade.

I got a nice picture from the gate.īoarding begun a little after the time printed on the boarding pass, and they were running a full flight, so the queues were long. It was going to be a Jet Airways 737-900, VT-JGC, with a plane wrap from GE on top. I proceeded to wait at the gate after.Ī while later, my plane turned up, which flew in from Delhi. That it turned out to be utterly tasteless is an understatement however. I walked about, chose a light snack, and got it. I was going to wait it out in the food court, and since I had not eaten all night, I was kind of, umm, hungry. You can however read about this contract lounge here and here.
My current tier with Jet Airways does not get lounge access under their new policy, and since I hold the MasterCard version of the Citibank PremierMiles card, and other cards, I did not have a Visa Signature to access the Mumbai Carnations Lounge at the terminal. Security check was a breeze since I was flying early in the day, and then I had nothing to do for a while. However, since there was tons of travellers today, I did not want her off the desk for long to assist other passengers, and I thanked her and told her I’d find my way. She took down the details of the voucher I wanted to use, and wanted to walk me to the lounge. I was approached by the manager in charge of the station, and she made sure my bags were tagged priority. I was told I was going to be given my Y boarding pass for the time being. I was initially told it was not going to be possible, but they’d try. There were seats available, economy was overbooked, and there was no reason I could not get an op-up, however I was indeed willing to use a voucher they’d given me for the upgrade. I had a long chat with the check-in agent about the possibility to upgrade. After all, it was the festive season, and everyone, including non-frequent travellers were going to be on a plane this time around. Things were going pretty slow at the business class check-in counter, which is where I was waiting to check-in. I arrived at the airport, wanting to check in my bags after a full night of keeping awake due to all the coffee, and hop on to the plane and go to sleep.

You could read my thoughts about their recent upgrade policy here.Īnyways, I’d already checked in for my flight and I got 10D, the first row aisle behind the curtain. I’d asked for an upgrade (against a voucher) from economy to business, but my request was not accepted. I was travelling my regular BOM-DEL segment, something I do a zillion times. Jet Airways, on the other hand, seemed to have other plans for me. I decided I when I got back to be treading away from them for a while, but I already had reservations with them for this November trip so I thought I’d brave it out this one time then. I have heaps of trip reports to write, but essentially, when I went by for my little holiday to the Park Hyatt Goa in June, I had a no air-conditioner flight on Goa to Mumbai. I must admit I have not been flying Jet Airways on my domestic routings of late.
