Jet Airways and your IP Address

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you log onto the Jet Airways site from outside India, the web site reads your IP address and directs you to a system that allows you to pay in USD and nothing else.

If you are an Indian Resident you are entitled to the lower INR fares, but you can't get onto the INR payment site because you're not in India!

This is the secret bit... if you reset your computer's clock to Indian time this will confuse the Jet Airways server and it will ask you to confirm if you are foreign or Indian! Hey presto - lower INR fares!

P.S. Don't try this unless you are entitled to the lower INR fares  :)

Thats so funny.

In relation, I have recently flown with Kingfisher & Jet as an Indian resident and nobody questioned me or asked to see my residency proof!

Ooh, slap me with a wet fish, I've broken the law  :)
Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!

Maybe they will be sending the sleuths after him.

Thanks for this tip. Which of course being a law abiding resident I won't be using! :D
