I missed the first day of my conference. Am I entitled to any compensation?
Any feedback/suggestions are appreciated
Did you contact JetBlue to inquire as to:
1. Why you were moved; and/or
2. Whether they could re-accommodate you on other (earlier) flights on either JetBlue or another carrier (like their partner, AA)?
Do you know whether the 10:30 am flight was cancelled?
As a general rule, the contracts of carriage of U.S. airlines typically exclude consequential damages for delays or cancellations. It's possible that JetBlue might offer you something as a good-will gesture if you complain.
These days, if you have to be someplace on a particular day, it's probably best to fly in the day before.
