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.

One of the baggage was not loaded

Jun 14, 2025
Documents Binita
Travelled from India on 29-May to Savannah (Mum to JFK on Air India and JFK to SAV on jetBlue). It was against same PNR. On reaching SAV, found one Bag missing. Family travelled to SAV for daughter's graduation on 30-May. Spoke to the jetBlue officials and they confirmed that the bag is in JFK and will be loaded and receive the next day 30-May and will be delivered to the mentioned address. Filled the attached form. It was my son's bag and all his clothes were on that bag. Since we did not receive any update on 30-May also and calls were unanswered, went to the airport and after lot of struggle , got the bag late in the evening. Didn't find the officials supportive and understanding. My son had to travel to GRR on 31-May early morning. The entire family was so tensed and where not able to enjoy the graduation moment of my daughter. My husband and sone left the program mid-way to go to the airport. The entire episode caused lot of distress and chaos. Need compensation for all the mental stress caused by this as well the uber travel to airport (attached)

We are booked from JFK to Lax 5/29/25 original confirmation #URXIPG I decided not to return with my Wife and Son on June 2nd, and fly to Maui to visit my daughter. Your staff gave us THREE new confirmation codes to accomplish the flights. Linda (DVXHCY) , Brett (SBWYNT) and me Evan (OFSXYM). The flights from JFK to LAX they charged $35 for Linda (one bag) and Brett (two bags - round trip) $70, and Linda (one bag) return trip from LAX to JFK $35....Total $140. I shouldn't have to pay for bags going to LAX because I'm present on the flight...I should be reimbursed $70. Thank you for consideration. Sincerely, Evan Miller

As I was boarding the plane the agent forced me to check my small overhead bag claiming there was no room. Yet when I got to my seat 16E there was plenty of room in the overhead. Plenty. See my pictures. I am disgusted with JetBlue. I sacrifice bringing items so that I can use the overhead. Unacceptable JetBlue. I will be using a different airlines in the future that’s for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JetBlue Changed My Original Flight Time

Apr 26, 2025
Rating - 1Rating - 2Rating - 3Rating - 4Rating - 5

1.5

I was originally booked on a 7am flight from Boston to Ft Meyers on May 7th. Therefore, I booked my rental car and transport to the airport accordingly. However, JetBlue emailed me yesterday informing me that my flight time changes to 9:35 am. We'll, that created a problem for me since I have a prior commitment at noon time on May 7th. I had to cancel my new flight at 9:35 and rebook with Delta. I was charged $25 from JetBlue for making the change. I am 73 years old. I only made the change because JetBlue's new flight time created problems for me. It is unfair to be charged a fee since the JetBlue was responsible for me making a change. If I had a direct email for the CEO, then I would email that person directly. As a second note, I am also booked on JetBlue in May to go to Charleston, SC. A few weeks ago that flight time was also changed by JetBlue.

PAid for select seating, expedited boarding and expedited se

Apr 23, 2025
To: Jet Blue Management and staff From: Gregory L. G. Date: 4/19/25 Re: Recent trip- BFL to JFK….JFK to Savannah and return – 4/10 – 4/17/25 Confirmation codes – MKJQTF ….. MJPDUJ On 4/18/25 I received an email from Jet Blue asking me to rate my experience on my most recent trip with your company. While normally I choose not to respond to these queries I thought it might be beneficial to Jet Blue and your staff to hear from a new but loyal customer who spent a little extra $ to make sure that my wife and I traveled with as much comfort and expediency as possible; to enjoy our anniversary and birthday celebrations with family members in Hilton Head via the route identified above. I also have had 2 major back surgeries and knee a surgery and wanted to avoid some of the unknown travel issues that could arise at JFK. As you can see, with a little investigation I invested in the Blue Plus reservations to secure seat selection, Priority Security and expedited bag check. Prior to traveling to JFK, I did the pre-check-in to save time at the airport. We arrived at JFK around 5:00 a.m. for an 8 am flight not knowing how busy it would be. We had to wait in the regular line to check bags. No expedited service. When I logged in at a Kiosk, I printed our boarding passes and one checked bag sticker for both my wife and me. I attached the stickers to the appropriate luggage and approached the Service associate and presented our boarding passes and Photo I.D. My wife was checked in with no problem. The attendant said I had the wrong tag for my luggage. She said it was for an assisted device not luggage and I would have to reprint it. I told her I printed both tags at the same time and there should be nothing different. She proceeded to rip the tag off my luggage. I tried reprinting the tag. That did not work. She told me to go to see a person near the counter to explain the problem. I did that with the same result. That associate called a supervisor. The Supervisor eventually was able to clear everything and reprint new stickers. This entire process took about 90 minutes. No expedited anything. When we got on the plane, we were now not priority seated. We were assigned the very last seats on the plane Row 28 seats A – C. When we arrived in Savannah, we were obviously the last to deplane. After stopping briefly to use the restroom and loosening my back we proceeded to the appropriate carousel. We were surprised that many of the passengers had already gotten their luggage. That was good. Except when everyone was gone, we did not see our luggage. After waiting about 15 minutes and questions and queries we proceeded to the Jet Blue office on the previous floor only to find our luggage in the office. It had been misplaced. On our return flight to Buffalo we waited at the carousel only to find our luggage was not there, again. I immediately went to the Jet Blue office thinking it would be there. Wrong! It was still at JFK. I filed a report and got the claim information and was told my luggage might be on the next available flight or it could take 24-48 hours. When the luggage arrived in Buffalo I would be notified and the paperwork I was given said it would be delivered to my home. They verified my name, address and phone number. The next day, Thursday 4/18, I called the 800 number. The representative was unable to provide any information on my luggage or its’ whereabouts. I received an email at 11:12 a.m. that my luggage had arrived and was set for customer pick-up. File ID: BUFB672433867 Bag Number: 4279557332 Bag Status: Held for Passenger Pickup I called the appropriate number to confirm the luggage was there and the Jet Blue associate on the phone said the luggage was in the office and when I got there to let the security outside know that I only had to walk inside to the office to pick up my bag and I would be right out. I did that. He said 5 minutes. I said O.K. When I went in, the office was locked, the lights were out and my bag was sitting on the floor by the door. No one was around. I asked the girl at Delta what I should do? She said go upstairs to the Jet Blue counter and someone should be able to help. I went upstairs. The Jet Blue counter was closed?? No one was there. I yelled for someone….anyone. Finally, a sanitation associate saw me and tried to assist. He said he would try to find someone. He stuck his head in a doorway, spoke to someone and then yelled to me that someone would be right down to assist me. I went back downstairs and waited 5-7 minutes. Nothing! I then heard a page that my car would be towed if I did not move it. I told security and they said move it or else. I parked it in the short-term parking and returned approximately 6 minutes later. The Jet Blue associate from upstairs was locking the office door to leave. I told her I was there to pick up my bag. She said she couldn’t wait any longer!!! 6 minutes?? I got my bag and left. I would like a refund of my charges for bags, seating and extras I did not receive. $500 This is not what I expected or paid for. I realize that I did not pay for first class. But really this was no class. This is a critique from a loyal customer.

Did not get what we paid for

Apr 12, 2025
Dear [Airline Name] Team, I wanted to share my frustration regarding my recent return flight from Aruba to Detroit (DTW). While our outbound flight went smoothly, the return trip was anything but. We paid for assigned seats, but upon arrival at the gate, the flight attendant couldn’t find them in the system, despite both my husband and I having them on our boarding passes. We were assigned seats at the back of the plane, which also happened to be the only ones where the in-flight entertainment didn’t work. Additionally, when checking in at Boston, we were told we had no seats—despite having them on our boarding passes. Eventually, we were given seats but had to check our carry-on luggage because we were in boarding group F. This resulted in us having to pick up our luggage in the middle of the night at baggage claim. We packed according to your carry-on policy, yet due to overbooking or seat assignments, we were forced to check it. We booked with JetBlue because of the assigned seating and carry-on allowance, and these issues left us disappointed and frustrated. I understand that some problems are beyond your control, but it’s essential that customers can trust their bookings and receive the services they paid for. Please let me know how I can avoid these issues in the future, and I’d appreciate any insight into why this happened
