Bill Kaulitz Says JetBlue Blocked Him From Flight Over His Dog as Airline Points to Pet Rules

A deleted Instagram accusation refocused attention on gate staff discretion, with the reason still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Kaulitz was initially refused boarding at a New York airport while traveling with two dogs on a JetBlue flight to the Caribbean.
  • JetBlue referenced established in‑cabin pet requirements, including suitable carriers and weight limits near eight kilograms, with decisions left to gate staff.
  • Coverage states it remains unclear why the dogs were not accepted, with no detailed explanation from the airline or the musician.
  • The singer posted, then deleted, an Instagram story accusing a gate employee of barring him because she did not like his dog.
  • Reports indicate he later reached the Caribbean for the holidays, as online discussion centered on rule enforcement, equal treatment, and support for frontline staff.
