Press Releases

"Jet Airways and Etihad Airways forge strategic alliance under FDI policy of government of India
Etihad Airways to invest US$379 million for a 24 per cent stake in jet airways"
"Both airlines' passengers will benefit from fully integrated frequent flyer programs with reciprocal ‘earn-and-burn’"

Very interesting... considering Jet Airways is QF's only route into India now (via its codeshare agreement for SIN-BOM and SIN-DEL), wonder if we will see any changes in the near future?

EK also use 9W as a codeshare partner, so that will certianly spice things up - No points, no codeshare probably.
I've been looking into flights into India, and now that QF are going via DXB, connecting with EK and 9W into BOM and DEL is a serious option.

I've always found it very hard to earn QF points on 9W, as you have to purchase an expensive fare class just to get points. I have a 9W account to credit all of my 9W domestic flights to.
