Uber for Business and JetBlue have officially partnered to ease the burden of flight disruptions for customers. Through this new collaboration, JetBlue will offer complimentary Uber vouchers to JetBlue customers who experience qualified travel disruptions.
This new program is available across the United States in every city where JetBlue operates. The two companies also intend to expand this service internationally in the coming months, beginning with major airlines in Paris, London and Amsterdam, as well as more popular destinations across North America, South America and the Caribbean.
Qualified flight disruptions include:
- If a JetBlue flight is delayed three or more hours from schedule departure time and the delay is due to a Controllable Irregularity, resulting in the customer not being accommodated until the following day. JetBlue will offer ground transportation from the airport to/from a local airport area hotel.
- If JetBlue cancels a flight due to a Controllable Irregularity, resulting in the customer not being accommodated until the following day, JetBlue will offer ground transportation from the airport to/from a local airport area hotel
“We always work to give our customers a great onboard experience and get them to their destination safely and on time,” said Joanna Geraghty, president and COO, JetBlue. “Sometimes travel doesn’t go as planned, and flights can get delayed or cancelled. In those cases, when the disruption is due to something in our control, our partnership with Uber for Business will make options for our customers more seamless.”

Sep 6, 2024Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise
The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

Sep 4, 2024The Shelbourne Review
Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
