Two potentially stackable Jet Airways discounts

Jet Airways is currently running two discounted fare offers. One is for 20% off on the base fare (including YQ surcharges) on all tickets booked by 6 March 2016 and paid with an American Express credit card. The other is for a 40% discount on select routes in business class. In this post, we'll look at both of these, as well as explore the possibility of stacking them.


20% off for Amex card holders

First off, there's a 20% discount for tickets booked between 4 and 6 March 2016, for travel completed before 31 August 2016. This is for tickets purchased using an American Express credit card, and can be located using the promo code JETAMEX20 when making your reservation on www.jetairways.com.

The 20% discount is on base fare (including YQ), and is valid on both domestic and international routes, and for both one-way and return trips. Basically, no restrictions on those counts. There are specific fare rules that you can locate at the time of booking.

I tried this for a random date on the BOM-DEL sector:


The discount of Rs 1,102 on this route is essentially 20% of the base fare plus the consequent effect of reduced cess (F2).

Up to 40% off on select domestic routes in business class

Jet Airways is also offering a discount of up to 40% on specific routes in business class as part of their Great Premiere Sale. Tickets need to be booked and flights completed by 17 April 2016. This discount is available on the following routes:

Ahmedabad - Mumbai
Delhi - Kolkata
Mumbai - Nagpur
Ahmedabad - Delhi
Delhi - Vishakhapatnam
Mumbai - Mangalore

The discount is automatically applied when you book Premiere (business class) tickets, so there's no promo code as such for this. However, the discount is not a steady 40%, but depends on the route. The fare class for this offer is P.

I tested random dates for MAA-DEL, for April 2016. As you can clearly see from this screen grab, there's a huge change in rates after the cutoff date of 17 April 2016, though the difference in price is closer to 25% than 40%.


Stacking the two offers

You can actually benefit twice, if you are traveling in business class before 17 April 2016, and book your ticket by 6 March 2016 under the 20% Amex offer I've detailed above. In that case, the ticket price further reduces, as you can see here.


The discount of Rs 8,999 actually works out closer to 21%. 

Conclusion

I think now's a great time to book some business class fares, particularly if you can stack the two offers. 

Readers: Do let me know if you snag some really good deals on these offers.

Review: Le Meridien Etoile, Paris

Image
I checked out of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile yesterday morning, and checked into the Le Meridien Etoile, just around the corner from the Hyatt, in the evening after a day's sightseeing. Hyatt was kind enough to hold my bags for the duration of the day (which is a surprise in today's world of terror threats), and I'm grateful to them for that. The Le Meridien has standard and chic rooms as two of their base category rooms. As I mentioned in the introduction post, I booked a chic room on an award. Here's a review of the hotel and room, but not breakfast (that didn't come with the room, and we planned to head to the airport a little early in any case).

Kolkata's new terminal, and what a relief! (And lots of pictures)

Image
For the longest time, Kolkata (CCU) had pathetic terminals – both for domestic and international flights – and it was high time they did something about it. Now, the Airports Authority of India must be complimented on the new Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. The airport is really fresh, swanky, and actually makes the flying experience in and out of CCU a whole lot better. The new terminal is an integrated terminal for domestic and international flights, and set out in an wide “V” with unequal arms, the longer arm being the domestic side. The terminal building itself is at one end of the runway, and is to the right of the old terminal, when viewed from the city side (left from airside). This picture, courtesy Wikipedia, shows it quite clearly. I flew in on SG 323 ( trip report here ), and on reaching CCU, we parked at the apron, though sufficient aerobridges appeared available. Cost cutting I suppose. The bus then took us to the terminal building, and this is what greet...

Defunct airlines of India - Part 1

Image
ASan and I met for lunch over the weekend. If you knew us personally, you'd know that we're both forever thirsty, if you get my meaning. You'd also know that there are always discussions around ideas for posts. Most of them are flights of fancy (pun intended!), and almost always unviable. But two men with some alcohol in them can dream, can't they? Anyway, this time the discussion finally got down to something that interests both of us, though in very different ways. ASan is a bit of a history freak, getting dreamy and bleary-eyed when you talk of anything 20 years or older (he thinks he’d have fit better into society a hundred years ago, than now). And I'm an AvGeek to the core and a huge  fan of REG Davies. So when the talk finally came around to Indian airline companies that used to be, we hit paydirt! After some decent and serious research, we think we've come up with our own Indian Aviation History 101. Given the volume there is to share, we’ll be splitting...
