Since I had decided the destination of our last trip to South Africa 🔗, this time it was my wife’s turn to decide, and Japan was the destination of choice. My job now was to figure out a way to get us there. There was a transfer promotion going on, so I transferred points from my Citibank Rewards credit card to the Jet Airways JetPrivilege program, and I did the same for my mother’s credit card. We eventually didn’t get the transfer bonus as per the promotion, but nonetheless, we had just enough miles for two round-trip tickets to Japan.
The Jet Airways JetPrivilege program had a plethora of partners across airline alliances and independent airlines. When I requested the dates we wanted, the only viable option was the direct flights on All Nippon Airways; there were no seats available on Korean Air, and Malaysia Airlines and Cathay Pacific were waitlisted.
For the outbound journey, we would fly All Nippon Airways from Mumbai to Tokyo (Narita) and return the same way. Having read a lot of great things about the airline, I was really looking forward to the All Nippon Airways experience.
| Date | Flight | From | At | To | At | Airline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAT 13 OCT | NH 830 | MUMBAI, IN (BOM) | 20:20 | TOKYO (NARITA), JP (NRT) | 08:10 (+1) | ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS |
| SUN 21 OCT | NH 829 | TOKYO (NARITA), JP (NRT) | 11:45 | MUMBAI, IN (BOM) | 17:45 | ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS |
With that, we were all set for our trip to Japan 🔗, thanks to Jet Airways JetPrivilege and Citibank Rewards credit cards.
