Jet Airways flies the 777 daily between Toronto and Amsterdam and they are a Virgin partner.



With the current 30% Amex bonus, the effective cost would be:

Economy (3-4-3) - 15,770 Amex
Business (1-2-1, herringbone) - 31,539 Amex
First (1-2-1, suite) - 46,154 Amex

Amounts are for OW, RT would be double.

No YQ is added for Jet Airways awards, so total tax would be a little over $40 from Toronto to Amsterdam.

Economy and Business can both be checked on Delta website.

First can be checked by calling Virgin Atlantic.

The agents there are quick, and space seems to be available majority of dates.

Yeh had that today too, glitch on Delta side.

When you are on the 1 or 5 week view, select to view nonstop only. The sky-high Delta prices (280k) will then go away, and you will see 75k, which is business saver for Jet.

Right. Unless they show availability on EF. Delta does not show higher than J for any partners.

Thank you, sorry I should have seen the MR points for business with the 30% in the post. I have a few hundred thousand VA miles , this is a nice option to use them, use avios to YYZ, then YYZ-AMS.
Have you flown Jet airways?

Wow! Just curious why you used to go on the same tour every day? Were you a tourguide?
