Ticketing and Fares 


Fares for domestic sectors within India are published in Indian Rupees (INR) and Unites States Dollars (USD). The INR fares are applicable to Indian nationals permanently residing in India, Nepal and Bhutan, foreign nationals residing in India and holding resident permits in India and foreign diplomats residing in India holding diplomatic status as well as their dependent family members. Fares for domestic sectors applicable to foreign nationals and non-resident Indians are quoted in United States Dollars (USD). INR tariff tickets are sold and ticketed only in India, while USD tariff is sold and ticketed worldwide.

Fares for international sectors are published in Indian Rupees (INR) and in the local currency respectively. For example, Mumbai-Singapore-Mumbai fares are published in INR and Singapore-Mumbai-Singapore fares are published in Singapore Dollars (SGD).

All basic fares for domestic and international routes are quoted before taxes, surcharges, and fees. In addition to the basic fare, we are required by the Government to charge and collect Passenger Service Fee (WO) as applicable in case of both INR and USD fares for domestic and international sectors. This is applicable for each flight coupon, that is, for each sector of travel. Besides, insurance and fuel surcharges (YQ) are also levied in case of both, domestic and international sectors, applicable per flight coupon. These two levies (WO and YQ) are collected along with the basic fare at the time of issuance of the ticket.

Change in Fare: Please note that fares are subject to change without notice. Unless otherwise specified, if you have purchased a ticket before the date of a fare increase and travel after the fare increase has taken place, you will not be required to pay the difference for the ticketed itinerary. However, in case there is a change in the booking or routing, the revised fare(s) will be applicable.

You can purchase your ticket from our offices or from any of our authorised travel agents in India and abroad. You can also purchase your ticket for any of our domestic sectors through our website. International and domestic tickets can also be purchased at all ticket counters, located at airports where we fly. Our airport ticketing counters at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai are open 24 hours.

Please do note the following: Please check your ticket after it is issued, for its correctness. Please also read the terms and conditions of carriage printed on the ticket jacket or on your eTicket print-out. Jet Airways participates in Billing Settlement Plan (B.S.P) programmes in India and over 45 countries across the world. The B.S.P facilitates distribution of tickets to be issued on Jet Airways flights. B.S.P tickets have also been introduced in India and can be issued for both domestic and international routes. We are also participating in Airline Reporting Corporation (A.R.C) programme in the U.S.A and Canada.

Ticket Validity: Unless otherwise specified, tickets issued for domestic sectors against INR fares are valid for travel for a year from the date of issue, while tickets issued against USD fares are valid for travel for a year from the date of commencement of a journey. Tickets purchased under concessional/discounted fares have limited validity period (details of which, are available on our website, at our offices, airport ticket counters and from our authorized travel agents). This also applies in case of open dated tickets. Unless otherwise specified, tickets issued for international sectors are valid for one year measured from date of commencement of the journey.

Unless otherwise specified, you can change your travel itinerary after you have purchased your ticket through our offices or through an authorised travel agent. In case you do, please get your ticket appropriately stickered (in case of domestic sectors) or revalidated at any of our offices, airport ticket counters, or by an authorized travel agency. If you are holding an international ticket and have changed your travel itinerary you are required to get the ticket re-issued for the revised sector.

Please do note the following with regard to cancellation, refund and revalidation of tickets: Domestic Sector Tickets: a. Any change to a confirmed ticket issued on INR fare - including cancellation, postponement, change of itinerary - must be done at least one hour before a flight. When a ticket is reissued from a higher to a lower fare, a re-issuance charge is levied, irrespective of whether there is any change in sector/class of travel. b. In case you are holding an eTicket and wish to cancel, postpone or change your itinerary, you are required to report to our ticketing counters for the same. You can also enjoy the facility of cancelling or changing your eTickets online, through the Manage Booking facility. c. Subject to the ticketing time limit, if the same is not met, a 25% cancellation charge on the basic fare will be applicable. This holds true for a published full-fare ticket. For special fares, please check the applicable cancellation charges. A documentation charge is levied when a confirmed ticket is processed for refund. d. Cancellation charges do not apply to domestic tickets where U.S. Dollar fares are applicable. e. Refunds will be processed subject to refund penalties as per fare rules and will be paid as per the original currency of payment, country of payment and form of payment. Refunds are subject to refund penalties as per the Fare Rules. We will refund the value of tickets purchased by you from our offices or airport ticketing counters directly to you: If the ticket has been paid for in cash, we will refund the amount in cash; and If the ticket has been paid for by credit card, the proceeds will be credited to the respective credit cards. f. Tickets issued outside India will be refunded in the country where the ticket has been purchased. g. The refund of a ticket issued by a Travel Agent, must be processed through the issuing Travel Agent. h. Please note that certain fares may have conditions which limit or exclude your right to get a refund. For complete details, please refer to the terms and conditions of that special fare or contact your nearest Jet Airways ticketing office or 24 hours reservation centre or your travel agent.

Passenger Rights 
If during your travel within, or to/from India , there is a flight cancellation or delay or denied boarding on a flight for which you hold a valid and confirmed reservation, you are entitled to certain rights in accordance with the Civil Aviation Requirements, Section 3 – Air Transport, Series ‘M”, Part IV, Issue 1, dated 6th August, 2010, effective 15th August, 2010, passed by the Director General of Civil Aviation. For your ready reference, we give below a summary of these rights. Full text of this CAR is available on http://dgca.nic.in/rules/car-ind.htm

[I] Denied Boarding

Many a time, passengers who hold a confirmed & valid booking, do not or are unable to report (i.e. ‘No Show”) for travel before the time limit specified by the airline. In such cases, an airline is allowed to levy appropriate ‘No Show’ penalty under Rule 135 of the Aircraft Rules, 1937 and the same will be deducted from the fare paid by the guest

To reduce the possibility of flight departing with unoccupied or empty seats, the airlines overbook flights to a limited extent. In such overbooking cases, an airline may have more guests reporting for a particular flight than the seats available on such flight and as such, may need to deny the boarding to some of the guests.

In the above event, before denying the boarding, Jet Airways would endeavour to first ask volunteers to give up their seats so as to make such seats available for other booked guests to travel on the flight. In return, Jet Airways, at its own discretion, would offer to the volunteer such benefits / facilities which, it may wish to offer.

In case you are denied boarding involuntarily on a flight for which you hold a confirmed reservation, you are entitled to the following monetary compensation:

A] The monetary compensation indicated below shall be given only if the amount of ticket costs is higher than the compensation amount:

a) Rs.2,000 or the value of the ticket whichever is less, for flights having a block time of up to and including one hour.
b) Rs.3000 or the value of the ticket whichever is less, for flights having a block time of more than one hour and up to and including two hours.
c) Rs.4000 or the value of the ticket whichever is less, for flights having a block time of more than two hours.

If the cost of the ticket is less than the amount of compensation indicated above, you will be entitled to an amount equivalent to the ticket cost in addition to refund of air ticket.

[Block time is the total time from the moment an aircraft first moves for the purpose of taking off until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight.]

B] The above compensatory amounts will be given to you in the form of a MCO (Miscellaneous Charges Order), which can be encashed at any of our ticketing counters/offices.

C] Additionally, you will be offered the choice between the following:

a) Refund of air ticket at the price it was purchased. OR
b) A flight to the first point of departure OR.
c) Alternate transportation under comparable/alternate mode of transport (whenever applicable), to the final destination OR.
d) Alternate transportation under comparable/alternate mode of transport (whenever applicable), to the final destination at a later date, at the passenger’s convenience, subject to availability of seats.

E] Jet Airways reserves the right to deny boarding to any guest under the influence of alcohol or drugs; for health, safety or security reasons; or in the absence of adequate travel documents and no compensation as referred to above shall be payable in such cases.

Cancellation means non-operation of a flight which was previously planned to be operated and on which, at least one place was reserved for a passenger.

A] In case of flight cancellations, whenever possible, Jet Airways will endeavor to inform you through a telephone call or SMS, as far in advance as possible of the scheduled time of departure, provided at the time of creating your booking, you had given the relevant contact information e.g., working telephone number (landline or mobile) at the time of booking.

B] Subject to the above, if you are not informed at least 3 (three) hours in advance about the cancellation of the flight, on which you were scheduled to travel, you are eligible for the following :

a) Compensation in accordance with paragraph [I] A & B above.
b) Refund of the ticket price in the event you do not wish to travel instead, on our alternate or subsequent flight or on another carrier’s flight or if so desired by you, an alternate travel opportunity at no additional cost.

c) If you have already reported for your original flight and are waiting for the alternate flight at the airport, meal and refreshments in relation to the waiting time.

C] However, please note that, no financial compensation shall be payable to you, if you have not provided adequate contact information at the time of making your booking or when you are issued a ticket for firm travel on the selected flight. In such a case, Jet Airways will either refund to you the ticket price or make reasonable endeavour to make alternate travel arrangements as per your choice. If you elect to travel to your destination on an alternate flight, Jet Airways shall provide you with meals and refreshments in relation to the waiting time at the airport.

D] Further, no such compensation shall be payable in the event :

a) You do not accept the alternate travel arrangement made by Jet Airways; Or
b) The cancellation occurs due to extraordinary circumstances beyond Jet Airways’ control (as described in paragraph nos. IV [A] & [B] below) when all reasonable measures have been taken by the airline .

IV [A] & [B] below, which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

Such extraordinary circumstances may in particular, occur due to political instability, natural disaster, civil war, insurrection or riot, flood, explosion, government regulation or order affecting the aircraft, strikes and labour disputes causing cessation, slowdown or interruption of work or any other factors that are beyond our control.

B] Additionally, Jet Airways would also not be liable to pay any compensation in respect of cancellations and delays clearly attributable to Air Traffic Control (ATC), meteorological conditions, security risks, or any other causes that are beyond Jet Airways’ control but which affect Jet Airways’ ability to operate flights on schedule. Extraordinary circumstances should be deemed to exist where the impact of an air traffic management decision in relation to a particular aircraft or several aircraft on a particular day, gives rise to a long delay or delays, or an overnight delay, or the cancellation of one or more flights by that aircraft, and which would not be avoided even though all reasonable measures were taken to avoid or overcome the impact of the relevant factor and, thereby, the delays or cancellations are caused.

C] This CAR does not restrict Jet Airways’ rights to seek compensation from any person, including third parties, in accordance with the applicable law.

Carriage of Human Remains 

Carriage of Human Remains (dead bodies/ashes) by Indian carriers is governed by the Aircraft (Public Health) Rules, 1954.

For an airline to accept human remains for carriage, the requirements stated below are common to both domestic and international transportation:

1. Death certificate specifying the cause of death.

2. Government issued proof of identity of the deceased.

3. 48 hours notice to Jet Airways regarding the transportation requirement. (This is so that Jet Airways may notify the health officer at the destination airport)

4. If the human remains have been properly cremated, the ashes shall be placed in an urn or casket having an outer packing of suitable material.

5. In the case of uncremated remains, the following procedures need to be adopted:

a) A corpse which has not been buried should be enclosed in a shell of zinc or other suitable metal with all joints so soldered as to seal them hermetically and prevent the escape of noxious gases or fluids. The shell should be enclosed in a stoutly built teak or other hard wood coffin and the coffin should be enclosed in a zinc or tin lined wooden packing case filled with sawdust and impregnated with carbonic powder.

b) Where a coffin has been exhumed and proves, on examination, to be intact, sound and free from offensive odour, it should be enclosed in a hermitically sealed zinc or tin lined wooden packing case filled with sawdust and impregnated with carbonic powder.

c) Where a coffin has been exhumed and is not intact or sound or free from odour, its contents should be dealt with in accordance with the requirements stated in 5(a) above.

6. Police clearance certificate.

7. Declaration issued by the individual/organization, packing the human remains, certifying that the human remains have been embalmed and packed in accordance with the relevant local laws and IATA Guidelines (click here to download the declaration).

For international transportation, in addition to the above 7 requirements, the following are also needed:

8. Clearance from the Embassy/Consulate of the deceased's nationality.

9. Clearance from the local health authority.

10. Passport of the deceased cancelled by the issuing country's Embassy/Consulate.

For additional information on the procedure to be followed, please get in touch with our airport offices, authorized cargo agents or our 24-hour Cargo Capacity and Revenue Management Center (CCRM).
