A: FlexTravel Awards are only valid for travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. If your travel plans change, and you need to travel on another day of week you must call the JetSet Desk at 1-866-958-XJTR (9587). If seats are available we will be able to change your reservation. However, we will deduct 40 additional JetSet Points from your account to convert your reduced rate FlexTravel Award into a Standard Travel Award if you wish to travel on any other days except Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Q: What if I do not have 40 additional JetSet Points in my account to convert my FlexTravel Award into a Standard Travel Award?
A: FlexTravel Awards are only valid on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. If you wish to travel on your award on any other day, it must be converted into a Standard Travel Award which requires 40 JetSet Points. If you do not have the additional 40 JetSet Points in your account, you have the following options: (1) Travel as planned on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday or, (2) save your Travel Award certificates for another use and purchase a roundtrip or one-way fare on expressjet.com or through your preferred travel provider.

In addition, you may be asked for your account number as well as several verification questions designed to protect your account and Awards.
Q: Can I make flight reservations online for Award travel?
A: No, all Award Travel reservations and changes must be made by calling the JetSet Desk at 1-866-958-XJTR (9587).
Q: Am I responsible for the payment of any fees when I make my reservation using a Travel Award?

Q: Are there any blackout dates when I cannot use my JetSet Award?
A: There are no blackout dates. However, JetSet Awards are subject to seat restrictions, and seats will not be available for Award travel on all flights on all days.

Q: How will I be notified after I redeem points for a Travel Award?
A: An email will be sent to your email account on record and the award certificates will appear in your account summary within 24 hours. Once the Award is deposited in your account, it is available for use.

A: Yes. All Award reservations must be made through the JetSet Desk at 1-866-958-XJTR (9587) to ensure seat availability.
Q: If I am traveling on an Award, do I need to bring anything to the airport on the day of travel?
A: No. Because reservations are handled electronically and required prior to arriving at the airport on the day of travel, you just need to bring yourself, your luggage and government issued photo-identification to check-in. As always, it is also a good idea to bring your confirmation number and award codes for reference.
Q: If I make my reservation using an Award and have to cancel my flight, how long will it take to get the Award re-deposited in my account?
A: If you cancel your Award reservation before the flight, the Award will be immediately re-deposited in your account for immediate use. If you do not cancel the Award reservation before flight departure, the Award and all associated fees will be forfeited.

A: All changes must be made by calling the JetSet Desk at 1-866-958-XJTR (9587).
2008 PROGRAM CHANGES
Point Split
Q: When did the Point Split go into effect?
A: The Point Split occurred on April 24, 2008. Previously, members earned 1 point per one-way segment flown. After the Point Split, Members now earn 10 points per one-way segment flown.
Q: What happened to the Points that I earned before the Point Split?
A: The JetSet Program automatically converted your Points to reflect the new point scale. Each point in your account was multiplied by 10. For example, if you had 12 points in your JetSet Account before the Point Split, you will now have 120 points.
Q: How many flights do I now need to earn a standard roundtrip travel Award?
A. Nothing has changed! It still only takes 8 roundtrips (16 one-way segments) to earn a roundtrip Travel Award. The only difference is in the accounting 160 points (10 per flight) versus the old system of 16 points (one per flight).
Q: Why did you change the point system?
A: We changed the point system to accommodate the addition of new partners in the JetSet Program in 2008.
