JetBlue Mint business class — does it affect the claim?
JetBlue Mint passengers are eligible for the same EU261 compensation as economy passengers — €600 for 4h+ delay on routes from EU/UK airports. Ticket class does not affect the fixed-amount compensation. However, if JetBlue offered you a reroute or voucher, accepting it may affect your cash claim — do not accept compensation offers without checking your EU261 entitlement first.
Claim deadlines by country
JetBlue only operates from UK (LGW/LHR) and Netherlands (AMS) in Europe. UK 6yr / Dutch 5yr SOL applies.
