We had guests on our recent trip, jet blue New Jersey to San Juan. Southbound flight was 6 or so hours late because navigation system to fly over water was not working. After repeated attempts, the flew a long route near enough to land.

Jet blue would not cover the cost of the hotel in San Juan needed because of the delays.

Northbound flight a week later, Jet Blue was were merely a few hours late. Pilot said there was a problem with the navigation system, it’s very rare, however, they can not take the shorter over water route but will have to stay close to land.

In both cases, they needed to add fuel for the longer trip,

This was their first and last jet blue experience.

A rare problem one way, I get that. The same rare problem Both ways. What’s up with that.
