    I had flown from Oakland, CA on Flight 96 to JFK on Sat June 14 which left Oakland on schedule - upon reaching JFK we were told we were being rerouted to Stewart Airport in Newburgh NY because Kennedy Airport was closed due to bad weather and that we would need to refuel to come back to JFK when they reopened the Airport. We arrived in Stewart at approximately 10PM and sat outside of an airplane hanger for more than 5 hours on the plane with not even being offered anything to eat or drink - not even water.

    We were on this plane since 1:40 PM CA time. We were waiting to get into the terminal - finally we were told that we would be going to the terminal at Stewart and that anyone who wanted to get off could but the flight and the baggage would eventually be going to Kennedy Airport the final destination. We were finally told we were going to the terminal. As the plane started to taxi to the terminal they annouced that we finally got clearance to go to Kennedy and that is where we were headed.

    By this time some of the people had made arrangements to be picked up at Stewart - and now were being told that we were not going to the terminal at Stewart but going to Kennedy. There were a few irate people and they decided not to buckle their seat belts because they wanted to get off the plane. Finally after arguing with the Stewardess - she told the passenger that it was up to him if he did not want to buckle his seat belt that we were going to Kennedy. We finally reached Kennedy about 4:45 AM. Are we entitled to any time of compensation.

    I signed up for paperless billing, but never got notified that a bill was due. As a result, I was charged a $39 late fee. I'm going to get rid of my credit cards as fast as possible and stop using any unless I have another emergency like the one that started this whole problem of extra spending..

    I bought a ticket for my mother on Friday, April 25 2008 to fly on Tuesday, May 13 2008 at 6:05 am. She arrive to the airport around 4:20 am and to the counter minutes before 5 am, and the agent told my mother the flight was already close, and if she want it to get a seat for the next day flight she need it to pay $100 dollars extra to confirm the ticket and the seat. My mother is 61 years old and has a lot of problems with high and low Blood Pressure. She was standing in the line for more than 30 minutes and when she finally made it, the agent just told her that she missed her flight.

    For me I think that this isn't right because she was on time but wasnt the only person left behind and for me they over booked the flight by selling more tickets than seats available. She also told me that two others people was trying to get on the plane and said to the agent to charge them any amount of money for them to get on the flight and the agent said to them that the flight was booked and full. Can you tell me how a flight can be booked and full when there were around 15 people trying to get on this flight? Who already pay for their tickets in advance?

    This happened this morning at Jet Blue Airline, Terminal 6 in JFK in Queens, NY, Flight 733 at 6:05 am from New York (JFK) to Santiago, DR (STI). For me this ridicules because I remember I flight one time with them and they was calling by flight number to be check when was almost time to departure. My mother never hear them call to let know the people the flight was closing at certain time and also I think this is a nasty way for them to be stealing money from they customer. My mom already told me that she would never flight again through this airline and I understand her with her age and also not having a good customer service to provide her with the service in her language. I appreciate if you do something about this matter.

    The consequences was that she already lost $100 dollars more that she had to pay to be able to get a seat on the next day flight. The price for the flight was $255 dollars and we had to pay $ 100 dollars more to get a seat on the next one way flight for the next day which is Wednesday, May 14 at 6am. Know, this is going to be another day for her to wake up early and when she doesnt get the sleep that she needs she gets sick. In the morning her blood pressure was little height and when she came back home she got worst. Also she is very sick with her inconsistent blood pressure that at the moment cant be control; it goes height as it goes down. She also had to wait standing outside with two suitcases and a carry on for up to hour and a half until I got someone to pick her up, since I was by myself at the house with my two sleeping kids. For her to be standing up for a long time makes her feel a lot of back pain and tire. She has spine disk dislocation which is even worst for her to be standing up for a long period of time.

    On February 11, 2008 I was transfered by a travelocity representative to JetBlue to request a change on my uncle's ticket. The JetBlue representative took my uncle's information and proceeded to process my request. I asked her what would be the extra cost and she said that there would be a 50 dollar charge for the change in city and if done online it would be 10 dollars less. I provided her with the credit card information, town change, and e-mail address to receive confirmation. She noted the credit card wrong, provided me with misinformation regarding the new ticket price (which I later discovered). When I decided to follow up with JetBlue for my uncle's flight confirmation the agent provided me with the confirmation number and I discovered the bate and switch that I was victim of.

    The economic consequences was that the credit card initially used to purchase the ticket has been charged double. Also, the inconvenience of staying on the phone long periods of time to deal with error and remedy it.

    We purchased tickets through Jet Blue but had to cancel our trip. They refused to refund our money and gave us credit to be used with their company within a year. We have three small children and could not plan the trip within the time they wanted us to. We called and got an extension for using our credit and were told we have until Feb. 2008. Now that we are calling to schedule our trip, they are refusing and stating that we forfeited our money.

    We paid them $1335.00.

    When you buy a ticket online you have to complete the purchase before you can select a seat. Since I require an asile seat I have to buy tickets by phone.


    Making purchases by phone results in loosing frequent flyer points

    Just wanted the group to know about my recent experiences with this airline. AS many hours as I have flown in my life I have never experienced the crap that Jet Blue can hand out.
    I took my daughter to Orlando for her spring break from school. We left out of Dulles International went through JFK and then onto Orlando.
    I watched as our bags went through the security check and there was no problem at all. But when I arrived at Orlando I found that my digital camera along with a few items of my daughters were missing. All of our bags were checked rather then dealing with carry-ons.
    When I made a report to Jet Blue I was told that they would not do anything about it. That I was basically out of luck...period.
    When I told them if they condone stealing by their employees they just sort of laughed at me saying they know it happens but there was still nothing that could be done.

    So I just want to let you good people know that I would stay clear of Jet-Blue like the plague. Their prices are not worth the eventual cost..

    Fight # 147 on 4-6-07 was delayed for two hours plus, the weather at Burlington and JFK was good. This flight seems to be delayed every time I fly it.

    I was suppose to meet someone in NYC for dinner. Instead I had to sit in a closed terminal in VT and be hungry.

    To whom it may concern, I was one of those unlucky individuals along with my wife and 17 month old baby to be lied to from JET BLUE airlines. We were stranded in the Nassau, Bahamas airport for 12 hours last Thursday and that was terrible but the employess made it worse by lying to us for hours. The agents and even Supervisor keep relaying mis-information to all passengers that our flight was in the air from Kennedy for about 5+ hours. The staff and supervisor kept saying that the plane was on the way and blaming the NY control center for the mis-information. It dawned on me later at home that the staff/supervisor were the ones lying to us because when the flight really was in route they finally allowed us see the progress of the flight on their computer screen. They obviously didn't want to offer this information earlier in the day when they kept telling us the flight was in the air. I don't mind delays but PLEASE JUST DON'T LIE to us (consumers). Reform is needed and needed quickly. A passenger bill of rights by JET BLUE is a good start but let's have them work on business ethics immediately. Regards - Former JET BLUE Customer (R. Dec)

    I enrolled in the Jet Blue TrueBlue Awards program several months ago. I amassed a sufficient number of points to obtain a round trip ticket. I wanted to give a round trip ticket to my daughter to allow her to fly from NY on Feb 15th to Ft. Myers, FL and back on Feb 18th, 2007. She was accompanying her husband who was paying full fare for his tickets both ways. I visited the Jet Blue website and requested a reservation for the above. I was told that they could not provide a flight on Feb 15th. I did some further checking and I found that if I would be willing to pay full fare I could get a reservation on Feb 15th. I examined all the material on their website regarding restrictions on the use of the TrueBlue Awards program and there was nothing there suggesting any blackout days or restrictions. My impression was that if space was available I could pay for it with my TrueBlue Awards points.

    I sent an email to David Neeleman, chairman of Jet Blue. I got an automated response that my email should be sent to his assistant, Carol Archer. I re-sent the eamil to Carol Archer and her response was that there was no space on their flights from NY to Ft. Myers, FL. I again checked and found that there was space on several flights if I paid full fare.

    I sent a second email to Carol Archer and to several other officers at Jet Blue; I copied David Neeleman,Dave Barger, the COO, and several other executives. I got a telephone call from Sue Tucker, manager of customer committment. I explained my situation; Ms Tucker told me that Feb 15th was not a blackout date but that there were restrictions on the use of Awards points. Ms Tucker agreed with me that the Jet Blue website did not provide a clear explanation that there were restrictions on the use of Awards points on certain dates. She offered to let me use the Awards points to buy 2 return tickets from Ft. Myers, FL for Feb 18 but I would have to pay full fare for 2 tickets from NY to Ft. Myers. This was no bargain. I could have obtained the 2 return tickets without her help. The return tickets were half the price of the tickets from NY to Ft. Myers.

    After exchanging several more emails, Ms. Tucker informed me that there were capacity restrictions with respect to using Awards points and that she could not accommodate my daughter.


    My daughter just graduated and her husband is still a student. The purpose of the trip was to attend a conference related to their studies. In planning the trip they were counting on only one having to pay the fare. What was going to cost about $450 now will cost about $900.

    I've been sending emails via their on-line form regarding the flight my husband missed. According to web site, he can check in up to 25 minutes prior to departure time w/ baggage; 20 minutes prior to departure time w/o baggage. He attempted to check in prior to the 25 minutes and was rejected. Woman at counter was unhelpful and unprofessional - told him and companion he had to pay for a complete new flight. I've received 3 emails from JetBlue after each of my on-line complaints and they have conflicting info. After speaking with Carolyn tonight for 54 minutes, it was unresolved. As worded in one of the emails received and as Carolyn stated they were supposed to arrive 30 minutes prior. My argument is the site does not state this, tickets were booked on-line so the agent that booked the flight could not verbally state 30 minutes (as Carolyn states they tell customers when booking via phone). All pages link back to Checking In page that states 25 minutes. My husband tried to check-in after the 30 minute cut-off as stated by Carolyn, but before the 25 minutes cut-off as stated by web site.

    My husband and friend had no reason to believe that checking in at this time would lead to not boarding. The automatic kiosk printed an oops ticket; they searched for help from someone behind counter (woman named Mike) who did not assist.
