Was on a flight earlier this week on jetblue, was delayed all in all 5-6 hours (slowly getting later), from 9:30pm till 2:55am.
I was waiting at home, since they gave the info about the delay earlier in the day, but at close to 11pm I got a text from them that it's being pushed forward to 12:30, so I rushed to the airport, not having time to take anything ( relying on that I'll have more time).
to cut it short it didn't take off till 2:55.

Jetblue gave everyone a $150 travel voucher.

Does anyone think it's worth trying to push for more (and how)?

Considering that on pesach there isn't really anything you can get to eat in an airport.
 
Thanks in advance

You want compensation for not hanging around the airport when they clearly tell you to be in the airport as they sometimes can move the times up?

Had a United flight last week with a stopover. The incoming flight was delayed for more than 3 hours due to mechanical trouble and my next flight was also delayed for more than 3 hours for other mechanical issues. I filled out the customer service form online and asked for a $100 voucher and I got it. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Oops, mixed that up. Is it only for departing Israel, or arriving, too,
