jetBlue Airways Corporation, more commonly known as jetBlue, is a major American low-cost airline. The airline primarily serves destinations within the United States but also has flights to the Caribbean, South America, and some parts of Europe.

AirAdvisor is the platform you can rely on to assist you with filing airline complaints and receiving the compensation you're due. In this article, we guide you through the process of making a jetBlue complaint, from issues concerning delayed flights to difficulties with customer service.

JetBlue Airways has earned 6th place in the AirAdvisor's Best US Airlines Rating 2023.

What Can You Make a Complaint About

As a traveller, you may encounter various situations that necessitate making a complaint to jetBlue. These scenarios can range widely and may include:

  • Significant Delays and Flight Cancellation: If your flight is considerably delayed, you have grounds to complain and may receive compensation for a delayed US flight. If your flight is outright cancelled, you have the right to register your discontent and, in some cases, may be eligible for flight cancellation compensation. It's important to keep in mind that your entitlement to jetBlue delayed or cancelled flight compensation hinges on the legal stipulations in the country of your flight's departure.
  • Boarding Denials: Being denied boarding because jetBlue has sold more tickets than they have seats for can be frustrating and is definitely a reason to complain. In such situations, you're entitled to demand redress, regardless of your point of departure. If you've ever wondered, "Can you get a refund on flights?", this is one instance in which you're certainly eligible for one.
  • Complications with Luggage: If you face issues with your checked-in luggage, such as it being misplaced, damaged, or delayed, it's your right to lodge a complaint with the airline. You can ask for compensation for any related costs you’ve had to bear as a result.
  • Issues with Customer Support: If you have been subject to sub-par customer service from jetBlue, you’re in your right to make a formal complaint to address the situation and provide constructive criticism.

Do remember to retain all relevant documentation, such as boarding passes, receipts, or correspondence with jetBlue when you lodge a complaint with jetBlue customer service. These serve as evidence and can strengthen your case.

Know Your Passenger Rights

jetBlue flights operating within or departing from the USA fall under the jurisdiction of American regulations concerning flight passenger rights. On the contrary, jetBlue flights departing from the EU or UK adhere to the passenger rights outlined under EU regulation 261 and regulation UK261.

United States

In America, your passenger rights are principally under the purview of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT outlines regulations and protocols to protect you in a variety of scenarios, including but not limited to flight delays, cancellations, denied boarding due to overbooking, and baggage-related issues.

These directives ensure you have specific rights and recourse options when faced with disruptions or inconveniences during air travel within the United States. Notably, these rights rarely encompass financial compensation.

Europe and the United Kingdom

In the EU and UK, your passenger rights are safeguarded under the EU261 regulation and UK261 regulations, respectively. These directives secure your rights in cases of flight delays, cancellations, denied boarding due to overbooking, and baggage complications when departing from these regions. The regulations specify numerous rights and alternatives, many of which include financial compensation.

If you're eligible for financial compensation under EU261 or UK261, you may anticipate a sum between $280 to $670.

This company is completely unprofessional. They can’t find my bag, and I can not get a response from anyone. When I do, it’s a simple run around. I will never fly JetBlue again, and will never recommend it to anyone.
Preferred solution: My bag would be appreciated.

Arrived at JFK, no announcement regarding travellers needed

Jan 11, 2025
Sunday, the 22nd of December 2024 I travelled from London Heathrow to JFK continuing on from JFK to Jamaica .No announcement on the plane to say what would happen when landed in JFK to me as I needed assistance I had to walk and go and find out. I stressed the importance of me having a connecting flight we landed on time. I left me waiting in the wheelchair for a long time. I continually said I needed to go and get my luggage as I had a flight this was ignored. Despite the airlines the staff knowing I had a connecting flight, they showed no urgency or concern getting me to get my next flight. I had to wait in a long line. There was no priority given to disabled passengers that needed assistance. When I finally got taken to security the boarding pass that JetBlue issued from London was not accepted and I was told it was incorrect. I had to be taken back to JetBlue counter to get a new boarding pass re-issued, causing me to miss my flight. There was then staff miscommunication stating that there was no outgoing flights to Kingston Jamaica on the following day at 18.55. When I asked to speak to a manager I was then taken to another section and had to wait in another queue after speaking to the manager she confirmed there is a flight 18.55 on Sunday the 22nd but due to the incompetency of the staff throughout this whole process, I missed that flight too. I had to put on another flight leaving JFK to Jamaica Kingston at 10:30 this flight was further delayed. once I arrived in Kingston early hours on Monday 23rd December Jet blue failed to send my luggage, further inconveniencing. Prior to leaving JFK I spoke to Jet blue representative at the check-in desk enquiring, to ensure my luggage would be following. Despite having confirmation that my luggage is going to Kingston . JetBlue failed to send my luggage on, this resulted in me having no luggage. I was then told my luggage would arrive on the next flight and I would receive it on Monday the 23rd in the afternoon or evening. This did not happen. There was no correspondence no follow-up call or email despite my details being handed over at the airport in Kingston I continuously called there was no answer on any numbers at the airport I had to ring JetBlue in New York directly to inquire about my luggage. This resulted in me not having any clothes toiletries essential items I needed for my trip for two days. When my case did arrive in Jamaica. I had to make arrangements to go and collect it from Kingston Norman Manly airport. The whole old deal has been upsetting, distressing and has an inconvenienced me. Staff complaining about having to assist you and the length of time it’s going to take them to assist you the fact that they are hungry they haven’t had lunch. It just really made me feel like a burden. This is not the way a person should be treated or made to feel and on top of all the other issues faced.

Seating was not on the booking

Jan 10, 2025
Documents Shirin
I booked a flight for my husband and paid extra to upgrade him to extra leg room. Seat assigned was 9C. I went online today to see if there is anyone seating in his row and it showed that he had no seat available. They had deleted his assigned seat that I paid an extra amount $170 one way. So I called their customer service and she tried to BS her way out of it. They basically assigned the seat to another customer and bumped my husband. Outrageous. If I hadn't checked, my husband would have no seat assigned and would have to scramble to get one. Very poor service.

Your online checking process is really bad. All I want to do is add a big for check in and I get the following error message. Oops.. what the fuck does oops mean? Are you kidding me... All I want to do is pay 45$ for a bag which is already absurd. Bur I get an oops every time I try no matter how many different cards I try.. your should be ashamed of your online experience. Oops we are sorry, please see s jetbue crew member for assistance.. are you kidding me, can you be a little more specific.. I have no idea what to do other than try and find some help at the airport tomorrow. This online experience is not very good, I am an IT person and I would be very ashamed if I had coded your process.

Missed flight due to equipment malfunctions

Jan 5, 2025
flight missed because of malfunctioning equipment from baggage check in, security scanners, both belt and individual scanners having to rescan each individual and their bags multiple times causing me to miss my flight. I had to stay in airport overnight 24 hours later for next flight. Missed scheduled functions with my daughters in Houston and sleep in very uncomfortable chair until morning. No consideration for inconvenience.
