Consumer Files Class Action Over JetBlue’s Alleged Data Collection for Surveillance Pricing

May 11

On April 22, 2026, Plaintiff Andrew Phillips filed a class action complaint against JetBlue Airways Corporation (JetBlue) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that JetBlue collected consumers’ personal information from JetBlue’s website and used that information to engage in a practice called surveillance pricing, without disclosing to consumers that tracking technology embedded in its website is used to set pricing for airline tickets and that consumers’ data is shared with third parties. The lawsuit claims that JetBlue’s conduct violates the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act and New York’s consumer protection law (G.B.L. Sections 349 & 396), seeks damages on behalf of a proposed class of all persons in the United States who used JetBlue’s website or mobile app and had their communications shared with third parties, and requests an injunction to stop the practices challenged in the action.

This lawsuit is one of the very first class actions in the United States regarding the practice of surveillance pricing.

The Plaintiff and proposed class are represented in this action by Peter Romer-Friedman Law PLLC and Yagman PLLC.

The lawsuit, Phillips v. JetBlue Airways Corporation, No. 26 Civ. 02405 (E.D.N.Y.), is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, New York.
