woman thrown off jetblue flight for being jewish

[Palm5]

HUH?  You mean he had a flight but he decided to book a new one on Delta because he thought that as a Jew he shouldn't fly on Jet Blue?  Strange!
I guess he figured he could count on Amex to get his money back

He booked through amex travel. He was protesting the treatment of a jew.

i agree he was an idiot

The fact that amex is saying she was the one carrying the bombs is crazy.

They're saying the merchant (JetBlue) said that.

So it's wrong on jetblue a part

He shouldn't be taking matters into his own hands like that. For sure not where his money is on the line.

What is the supporting document provided by the merchant?

Just that it's a non refundable tix..... He's working on jetblue now

[moish]

beyond ridiculous

[aygart]

Why isn't it simply stealing from Jet Blue? He bought a non refundable ticket and chose not to fly. What right does he have to the money? Am I missing something here?

[myb821]

Am I missing something here?

nope

[TimT]

Trying to get his money back is not called being " a good Jew". (I'd have more respect for him if he would be ready to lose all that money to prove his point)

[ilherman]

Well, the real question is if the story is true, if it is, then I can understand.

[AJK]

Except by most accounts, it's not.

[myb821]

And I would make this up because?....

who said u were making it up

Update:

After about an hour on the phone with jetblue and amex

Jetblue gave him a credit for tix - cxl fees.

He originally booked the tix through amex travel and when the story broke called them to cancel the tix. They didn't do so.
