JetBlue Lost Luggage Policy Explained

Also, we dive into how DoNotPay assists in retrieving your luggage!

The Basics of the JetBlue Lost Baggage Policy

The first thing you should do if you misplace one or more of your bags on a JetBlue flight is to report the lost item.

You can do this in two ways:

1. With the JetBlue staff member while at the airport
2. Via an online form

If your bags have been lost or damaged, file a report with a JetBlue crew member while you’re at the airport.

Alternatively, you can submit a Lost Item Report via the online form on the website.

To help JetBlue's lost and found department recover your item quickly, you first need to let them know if your item was checked in.

If your bag was checked in, you should contact the local JetBlue Baggage Service Office in the airport baggage claim area or at the ticket counter.

In case you lost an unchecked item, make sure you provide the following details:

• Item category and subcategory
• Date you lost the item
• Detailed description of the item

Make sure you file your Lost Item Report within 14 days of losing your luggage so that JetBlue has a better chance of recovering an item if you report it early.

DoNotPay Can Speed Up the Lost Baggage Report Process for You

You can also look for your lost baggage with DoNotPay—our AI-powered app that drafts and sends a letter to JetBlue’s Lost and Found department asking for the retrieval of your bag.

Follow these steps to get started:

1. Log in to your DoNotPay account
2. Go to the Find Lost Airport Items feature
3. Submit information about your lost items, like the date when you lost them, the category they can be classified under, etc.

DoNotPay isn’t limited to finding lost baggage. It can also help you find other items, such as lost phones, misplaced keys, or missing wallets—among many others. Our app can even get you a full refund for poor WiFi on JetBlue or other flights!

How To Stay Updated on the Status of Your Lost Baggage

Once you file the lost baggage report, you will get a confirmation email. If the company finds a lost item that matches your description, it will send you further instructions for retrieving it via another email.

If you wish to follow up on a lost bag report, call the JetBlue Baggage Service department at 1-866-538-5438.

How Can You Retrieve the Recovered Baggage?
