I called and also tried using chat but no one EVER picks up or connects. 2-3hr hold times is just ridiculous!!!
I’m writing this to Anyone that would listen or even care to know how me & my family were treated.
My family and I flew (about 18 of us) JetBlue flight B6 1852 on July 29, 2024, 6pm. We were returning to New York from a 5day vacation in Cancun Mexico at the RIU Caribe. For 5 DAYS my Husbands right foot was swollen and he was in pain. He was having trouble walking from gout in his foot. While at the RIU resort, we visited the pharmacy and purchased Alpurinol & Naproxen as the Pharmacist there recommended. My Husband had to use a wheelchair multiple times at the resort & also be put in a wheelchair throughout the ENTIRE time in the airport…all the way to the cabin door. He limped his way down the aisle of the plane to Seat 18B and started feeling sick so he went straight to the bathroom and threw up. From about 6 rows away from me, Jill, the flight attendant asked if my Husband was intoxicated and I answered NO, and I said it was prbly from the aftermath from THE DAY BEFORE and the ALL the medicine he was on all weekend and STILL ONthat SAME day. My Husband Quietly retuned to his seat. Another flight attendant came over to us and said Jill reported that my Husband “appeared to be intoxicated because he was staggering up the aisle and throwing up in the bathroom”. I told the lady he was limping because he has trouble walking from the gout in his foot and showed her how swollen his foot was and also told her that he was sick from all the medication. I told her he just got out of a wheelchair and I even offered to show her the medications but she refused. 2 mins later Another attendant came over and asked my Husband directly if he needed medical attention. My Husband answered “no”. The guy then asked if he was light headed, my Husband again said “no. The guy then asked if he was feeling sick because the flight attendant said he was throwing up in the bathroom. My Husband answered “I was but feeling better now. I’m in pain because of my foot, I have gout”. He then showed the man his swollen foot AGAIN! My Husband was coherent and COMPLETELY alert and aware of EVERY question he was being asked and he answered for himself. If he was intoxicated, he would not have been coherent or even alert! 1 min later the attendant came back over to us and said the pilot decided that we be removed from the plane because my Husband “appeared to be intoxicated & our checked bags were already pulled from underneath the plane”. We AGAIN told ALL the attendants he is NOT intoxicated and was sick from all the medications he was on and needed to get him back to the US for medical treatment from his own doctor that has been treating him for hus condition. The attendant said we were “holding up the plane” and “needed to get off the plane”. I told the lady we had no money and didn’t know where to stay or what to do if we get off the plane. The attendant was nasty & told me “that is not her problem\" and again said \"we were holding up the flight and to get off”.
We were traveling with family and NONE OF US GAVE ANY TROUBLE!!! We ALL were respectful, calm, and NOT ONCE did any of us lose our cool or act a fool even with being treated this HORRIBLE!!
I was SO confused and scared as to WHY we were actually being removed. We were separated from our 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER while me & my Husband were removed from the plane!!!!! THANK GOD my family was still on the plane with her but can you imagine how disturbing it was seeing my daughter with tears in her eyes as she was separated from her parents. We were asked to leave the plane so fast that I didn’t even realize I still had my daughter’s passport in My BAG!!! Which then was something else to worry about as she was then headed back to the US without her passport. You have NO idea how this has affected our family!!! Me and my daughter battle with anxiety and JetBlue has definitely added to it in the Worst way!! There was NO VALID REASON for us to be kicked off the flight!! NONE!!!!
There were other people (of other races/nationalities) that were CLEARLY drinking & intoxicated while boarding the same flight BUT they were not kicked off the plane. It was clear that the JetBlue flight attendandat RACIALLY PROFILED my family!!!!!! WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!
Then we get off the plane and a JetBlue representative tells us that JetBlue will not cover ANY expenses (our returning flight to the US, transportation, our stay, NOTHING) because us getting kicked off the plane was\" our fault\". After crying my eyes out and explaining what REALLY happened, showing them my Husbands foot and medications, the Supervisor finally came back and said they would put us the next flight out the next day but wouldn’t cover anything else.
We were Forced to get off the plane, Forced to pay for a room at the Hilton Inn, Forced to be separated from our daughter and rest of family, Forced to delayed my Husband getting the Proper medical attention from his own doctor. I am APPALLED at how me & my family we were treated. We were treated VERY UNFAIRLY and will for sure contact my Lawyer and report this as far up as I possibly can!!!!!
Me & my family have traveled MANY places and used JetBlue MANY times and we have NEVER had ANY issues like this. We have NEVER experienced anything like this from ANY airlines!!! This was ALL VERY TRAUMATIC, HUMILIATING, SHOCKING, EMBARRASSING!!!! We have NEVER experienced anything like this from ANY airlines!!! Now we have to worry about being flagged anytime we want to travel and my family is left with the trauma due to the racism, rudeness & incompetence of your flight staff!!!
My Sister is a flight attendant for JetBlue and after this I PRAY she leaves your DISRESPECTFUL & RACIST company!!!!!
