JetBlue

It’s really starting to get not worth it

On the 10:40 DUB–BOS flight today with JetBlue. I arrived at the terminal about 85 minutes before departure, knowing the general recommendation is 3 hours early. When I got there, nobody was at the check-in desk and I needed to check a bag. At Dublin Airport, JetBlue check-in is...

An email from JetBlue announces a change to its boarding process starting April 29. The airline is switching to a simplified numbered boarding system (Groups 1–8). Under the new structure: Mosaic 3 and 4 members, along with Mint passengers, will board in Group 1 Mosaic 1 and 2,...

aircraft, the crew coordinated alternative weight-reduction measures. These included offloading checked baggage and transporting it on a later flight, rather than removing passengers from an already fully booked flight. The flight crew handled the situation professionally and...

This is one of those things that sounds fine until you actually try to pick a seat. Guy books a Blue fare expecting free seat selection, then finds out all the remaining seats require an extra fee anyway. So technically “free”… but only if the right seats are left. That’s the...

I always thought this was one of those unspoken rules… middle seat gets both armrests since they’re already stuck with the worst seat. Aisle gets one plus extra leg freedom, window gets the wall to lean on, middle gets… the armrests. That’s the tradeoff. That whole situation...

Had a JetBlue flight delayed for hours, then canceled right as we were about to leave. Their automatic rebook was TWO days later which just wasn’t an option. Tried getting help at the airport but got nowhere, so ended up buying my own $250 flight to a different airport and then...

Had a frustrating situation this morning at LAS with JetBlue and wondering what my options are. My 7am flight pushed back and started taxiing, then the pilot announced they needed to reset a flight computer and we returned to the gate. About 15 minutes later they deplaned...

Currently on a JetBlue flight and had a strange interaction with the snack cart. I had headphones in and when the flight attendant got to me she just said “snacks?”. I asked what the options were, but she didn’t answer and just handed me plantain chips. I gave them back and said...

Booked a spring break flight from San Juan to Boston back in October for two adults and two kids (7 and 4) and paid extra to pick our seats together. In November the original flight got cancelled and JetBlue automatically moved us to a flight 3 hours later, but our seat...

IT problem. Happened today

Grabbed a last-minute JetBlue fare from Chicago to Boston and didn’t realize something important until it was too late. Turns out JetBlue only runs one daily flight from ORD to BOS, and the only other daily departure from ORD is to JFK. Of course the inbound aircraft got...

Had a weird thing happen while booking a JetBlue flight with a friend. We were both sitting together booking the same flight at the same time, just using our own credit cards. The fare was showing $136 for both of us. I completed my booking, but when my friend tried to check out...

Used to fly JetBlue nonstop between Boston and Seattle for years after moving from the west coast to Boston. It became the go to airline for visiting family because avoiding layovers on a 5+ hour trip made a big difference. Even got the JetBlue credit card to stay loyal and keep...

Had a JFK to Paris flight with JetBlue and ran into a really strange situation at the gate. Holding a Hong Kong SAR passport, which normally doesn’t require a Schengen visa for France. Gate agents refused boarding saying a Schengen visa and ETIAS registration were required....

From what I understand, JetBlue is checking in and doing security at Terminal 1, then bussing passengers over to Terminal B (Tom Bradley) for departures and arrivals. Does anyone know if that bus transfer is wheelchair accessible? If not, is it possible to walk airside from...

This is a rough one. Flight 474 AUA to BOS delayed 6 hours, sat on board 2 more, then pilot announces radar issue and says it’s unsafe to fly. Everyone deplanes, gets bused to hotels, no real communication. Next day some passengers lose their seats because the aircraft gets...

This would have made my blood boil. They canceled the return NY to LA because of the snowstorm, couldn’t rebook, so you had to book another airline yourself. Then they come back and say that leg was only worth $150 and 1,500 points? On a school holiday Sunday? Yeah okay. No way...

We have a JetBlue flight to Cancun this Saturday. After seeing the news, my wife doesn’t feel comfortable going anymore. We didn’t buy travel insurance. What are our actual options here? Is it just cancel for a credit (if the fare allows) or are refunds only if JetBlue cancels...

Had a nonstop CDG to BOS for Feb 24, around $600. Blizzard cancelled it. Under EU261 I thought I could be re routed at the earliest opportunity, even on another airline if needed. But I’ve talked to three JetBlue agents and they all say my only options are a refund or the next...

JetBlue is now letting Plus and Business cardholders buy a $79 day pass to the BlueHouse lounge at JFK if you’re flying Blue fare or higher. I have the JetBlue card and qualify, but I’d only buy the pass if I can pay with my Amex Platinum to trigger the airline incidental credit...

You’re basically thinking: cancel the existing Mint ticket for a travel credit, then rebook the same flight with fresh cash so you earn 24 tiles instead of the 12 tied to your original booking. On the surface, it sounds clever. A few things to consider though: JetBlue awards...
