JetBlue Compensation

[David S]

I was on a JetBlue flight with my family yesterday, when something broke with the flaps on the wings and instead of landing at LGA, we had to make an emergency landing at JFK (at about 200mph) [quite scary]. Then, Jetblue, in their infinite wisdom, decided that they could only release the luggage at LGA, even though almost everybody was willing to leave from JFK. So, to get us and our luggage to LGA, they decided that the most efficient method would be to fly us there - for a whole 16 minute trip!

When we arrived at LGA, we received a letter indicating that JetBlue is willing to compensate each passenger with a $75 credit toward a future flight. We had 6 tickets.

I'm curious if people think that's fair or whether I should ask for something else [and if so, what]?

Interesting story, just curious which flight # was this?

362

After thinking about it, JetBlue needed a new plane at LGA, since they had a whole plane-load of passengers waiting to board. Considering that JFK is their base, they needed to get a plane from JFK to LGA anyway.

Question... If I have a certificate that expires in July.. No plans upcoming.. Can I book a ticket with the certificate & cancel within 24 hours & when they give you back the certificate does it extend to a new date or does the new certificate still show the old expiration date? TIA
