Welcome to the JetBlue TrueBlue Forum FLAME-FREE Q&A Thread!
As seen on many other forums, the Flame-Free Q&A Thread is a friendly place for members to ask anything, even the most basic of questions. No snarky responses here! There are no stupid questions in this thread. This is a centralized place to ask simple questions for which you may not want to start an entire thread. A special effort will be made to avoid using acronyms, jargon, or other language difficult to understand to those who may not fly JetBlue so often. Personally I've found this type of resource to be immensely helpful on other forums, and it's about time that we have one here.
So without further ado... ask away

I prefer to use a credit card that gives me trip protection and good to know that you do not have to pay with JetBlue card.

I have travel bank funds from booking and canceling several award tickets. If those funds expire I will treat it as a minor cost of refundable award travel.

With all the route cancellations is SAT-BOS safe
I know that most of the changes have been on the West Coast but my parents have a SAT-BOS flight on June 14th. I just got an email about a minor change in times but to me SAT BOS doesn't seem like a popular route as B6 is the only one who flies it.

Every time I think I'm an expert flier, I come back to the newbie thread because I learn I am not
I got rebooked due to a delayed connection (inbound on-time, second flight was delayed), and now will arrive in my destination about 3 hours earlier than the second flight. My bags are tagged to the second flight, and JetBlue has given me a run-around about what to do other than that they can't be re-tagged.
What's best practice here?
Do I go to the baggage office when I arrive at my destination to see if they can not send it to the carousel? Hope and pray that no one steals them off the carousel and have them get picked up by the office without giving them a heads up? Any chance of JetBlue delivering the bags?

I am trying to book award ticket on Qatar from US to Doha in business. There's very limited availability from SFO->DOH. So I am wondering anyone has experience booking SFO->JFK->DOH in one ticket? It is ok if SFO->JFK is not in business/mint. I could not find a way to do it on jetblue.com. And not sure if it is possible to book it by calling in? TIA.

Booked Mint class from PBI to London via JFK. The JFK flight delayed due to weather, placed on a LGA flight instead, and that too was delayed, then diverted to Albany. Missed my London flight. Crew in Albany timed out and Jetblue cancelled the flight and simply dumped us there. Took uber, Amtrak, another uber, a hotel and an uber the next day from Manhattan to JFK for the Heathrow flight a day later. Submitted my expenses. They reimbursed me $10 for my "travel expenses" which were $197 for the Amtrak and uber legs. Is this normal for them? Why would anyone travel business class with Jet Blue transatlantic? Delta would not treat its business class passengers this way. How can Jet Blue remain solvent?

JetBlue is barely solvent but your experience has very little to do with that.
