Have you experienced a JetBlue flight delay, cancellation, or disruption in the past three years? If so, you may be eligible for JetBlue flight compensation under European air passenger rights when flying from an EU airport. This guide will explain when and how to claim compensation with FlyNero.
About JetBlue
JetBlue is a major U.S. airline headquartered in Long Island City, operating over 1,000 flights daily to more than 100 destinations across the Americas and Europe. While JetBlue is not an EU airline, it is subject to EU Regulation EC 261/2004 when departing from an airport within the European Union. This means affected passengers can claim compensation for delays, cancellations, or denied boarding on those flights.
JetBlue Flight Delay Compensation
You may be entitled to compensation if:
- The delay exceeds 3 hours, based on arrival time.
- Your flight departs from the EU, as EC 261 applies only in this scenario for non-EU carriers like JetBlue.
- No extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather, ATC strikes) were the cause.
- You were not provided a suitable alternative flight to avoid the delay.
If these conditions are met, you may be eligible for up to €600 in compensation.
JetBlue Flight Cancellation Compensation
You could claim compensation if:
- You were notified less than 14 days before departure.
- The flight departs from an EU airport.
- The cancellation was not caused by extraordinary circumstances.
- No suitable alternative flight was offered that arrived within a reasonable timeframe.
Denied Boarding Compensation with JetBlue
If you were involuntarily denied boarding (e.g., due to overbooking), you may claim compensation if:
- You arrived on time at the gate and had a valid reservation.
- You met all travel requirements and did not pose a safety risk.
- The flight departed from the EU.
Eligible passengers can receive between €250 and €600, depending on flight distance.
JetBlue Baggage Compensation: Lost, Damaged, or Delayed
Under the Montreal Convention, you can claim for:
- Lost baggage: If not found within 21 days, it’s considered lost.
- Damaged baggage: Report immediately via a PIR at the airport and file a formal claim within 7 days.
- Delayed baggage: JetBlue must cover essential item costs while you wait.
Maximum compensation is around €1,500 (1,288 SDR), based on your baggage’s value.
When JetBlue is Not Required to Compensate
You may not be eligible if:
- The issue was due to extraordinary circumstances.
- The cancellation notice came more than 14 days in advance.
- The delay was under 3 hours.
However, assistance like meals or accommodations may still be available depending on the situation.
JetBlue Compensation Amounts Under EC 261
- Flights up to 1,500 km: €250
- Flights between 1,500 km – 3,500 km: €400
- Flights over 3,500 km: €600 (if delayed over 4 hours)
