JetBlue

A casual observer might have thought that Anthony LaMesa was booking a last-minute JetBlue Airways ticket from New York to Cancun, Mexico.

What to do about the travel industry’s timeout clauses

January 26, 2024January 26, 2014 by Christopher Elliott

A casual observer might have thought that Anthony LaMesa was booking a last-minute JetBlue Airways ticket from New York to Cancun, Mexico, on a whim, perhaps to escape the frigid winter weather.

If an airline tells you it offers a more humane way to travel, should you hold it to that promise? The question David's case raised.

Happy holidays? JetBlue slams grieving grandson with booking fee, walk-up fare

January 26, 2024December 24, 2013 by Christopher Elliott

If an airline tells you it offers a more humane way to travel, should you hold it to that promise?

If you're a frequent flier, maybe you've already been roughed up by an airline, rhetorically speaking. I prefer to fly on JetBlue.

Is JetBlue scaring passengers into buying travel insurance?

January 23, 2024July 14, 2013 by Christopher Elliott

If you’re a frequent flier, maybe you’ve already been roughed up by an airline, rhetorically speaking. I try to stay away from planes myself. I fly very infrequently and I book airline tickets even less.

Jonathan was flying on JetBlue. But when he arrived at the gate, an attendant told him he couldn't board with his instrument.

Oh no! JetBlue breaks guitars, too?

January 23, 2024June 14, 2013 by Christopher Elliott

Add the word “breaks guitars” after any company, and everyone knows exactly what you’re talking about.

JetBlue is one of only a few airlines that issues flight vouchers when a fare drops after you book it. But is the voucher worth anything?

To say that Cristi felt uncomfortable on a recent JetBlue Airways flight from Phoenix to Boston might be something of an understatement.

Does JetBlue owe her anything for amorous passenger incident?

Early boarding privileges are reserved for frequent fliers and passengers with obvious disabilities, but not on this JetBlue flight.

“There were angels all around me on that JetBlue flight”

I'm having an issue with Points.com. I recently traded 6,000 American Airline miles for 6,000 JetBlue miles, with a transaction fee of $100.

What do you do when points vanish into thin air?

January 22, 2024May 11, 2012 by Christopher Elliott

When Jonathan Govias tries to transfer 6,000 points from one frequent flier program to another, they go missing. No one is willing to help him recover the missing miles. Are they gone for good?

A JetBlue aircraft, a freak storm, passengers stranded on an aircraft for hours -- and all happened near the media capital of the world.

Here we go again! Another tarmac stranding incident — beware of outraged talking heads on TV

January 22, 2024October 30, 2011 by Christopher Elliott

It seemed eerily familiar: A JetBlue aircraft, a freak storm, passengers stranded on an aircraft for hours — and all happened near the media capital of the world.

When David Simon wanted to fly from Milwaukee to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he assumed “low cost” airline Southwest would offer the lowest fare.

Ridiculous or not? “Low cost” airlines that cost more

January 22, 2024October 12, 2011 by Christopher Elliott

When David Simon wanted to fly from Milwaukee to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he assumed “low cost” airline Southwest would offer the lowest fare.
