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.

JetBlue at JFK overcharged for checked bag

Oct 7, 2024
confidental
We were rebooked by Icelandair booking ref #LEB76C with Luftansa & JetBlue. When arriving at JFK, we had to recheck my bag because in Munich, Luftansa could not check it all the way through to JFK. I was charged $111 for checking my bag on a domestic flight. I request a refund or partial refund as I had already paid Icelandair AND nothing on JetBlue FAQs quote that high of a checked bag price. I cannot even get a hold of JetBlue or a real person to chat with. They do not even have an email address that I can write to. I want a partial refund at the least!!

Technical problems

Oct 3, 2024
Sunday August 4 2024 AMS JFK B6 2289 13:40 16:15 Instead of flying to JFK we were diverted to BOSTON due to refueling. At the scene, a defect in one of the tires was found which caused us further delay. BOS JFK B6 2289 06:29 07:14 JFK MCO B6 483 07:47 PM 10:52 PM Connection not made despite this flight leaving later Landed at JFK at 07:14 PM. Because we had to go through customs and pick up our own luggage we missed the connecting flight to Orlando (it left at 07:47). First then able to report to JetBlue's Help Desk. There we were told by a very uninterested employee that we could not go to Orlando until Wednesday. This forced us to stay in NY until then and incur additional expenses. Jet Blue left us out in the cold and did not arrange anything for us. No hotel, no cab. Come back tomorrow to see if anything is possible was then the answer. Found a hotel in Brooklyn (as nothing else affordable could be found) and Uber of which I paid cash.

Our luggage (2 pieces) was shredded/torn and arrived damaged. We submitted a claim to her blue within two hours of luggage retrieval from baggage claim. Due to work (flight delay and scheduled to work unable to wait in long line at customer service so we submitted online form). They are refusing to compensate us so we can purchase replacement luggage. They will only give a credit $100 to a Jet blue account that has to be redeemed with 6 months. We only get 1 vacation per year and just returned from it!! What we are asking for is not unreasonable!!! You damaged our luggage it is apparent it got caught on some defective machinery that shredded the suitcase and damaged the frame. We only want replacements and are willing to buy second hand luggage as these can not be used anymore! They closed our claim/case and we are getting nothing. They are liars who do not honor their policy for damaged luggage/items!!!
Preferred solution: Compensation, Reimbursement, Cash to buy two pieces of luggage (the luggage they damaged) NOT jet blue points!! Or two pieces of intact undamaged luggage (we’d settle for used if it is fully intact/undamaged)

We love jet blue however, 1. delayed however that can happen, 2. person on flight was extremely overweight,, however that was not the problem. This person smelled so fowl, everyone was making faces and covering their nose. I pointed the air vent to his location across the aisle on one behind us. I sprayed hair spray and other tried to point their air towards this person. The steward changed his seat to that location because no one wanted to seat in the same isle with this person. Also we were in the 5th row on the isle and we were delayed for approximately 45 minutes and a five our flight to reach SanDiego and the steward ran out of food ie sandwiches and other items after the 5th isle. That is not right for the people and kids on this flight. This flight was packed full and no food? Also my husband had no working tv screen working. Also we were forced to check two bags cost $90. They were calling my pocketbook a "Bag" the other item was a shopping bag with a back pillar and seat pillar for my husband's back. The flight attendants were wonderful in every way but this was an uncomfortable experience. Smells, no food, no tv, not a good experience.
